Abstract: The wave velocity equations are derived for the particular cases of surface waves –Rayleigh, and Love types using direct method along with numerical results. Results are compared with results of classical theory when reinforced parameters tends to zero.

Keywords: Decoupling, fibre-reinforced media, transversely isotropic media, surface waves, half space.

1. Introduction After the pioneer work of Rayleigh [9], many investigators have studied the problem extensively under different conditions. They have contributed in a wide range towards its application in various fields e.g. Seismology, geophysics, acoustics, telecommunications and environmental sciences etc. A good amount of literature is to be found in the standard books of Ben-menahem and Singh [3], Bullen [4], Ewing et al. [6] and Love [7].

In most of the previous investigations the effect of reinforcement has been neglected. This concept was introduced by Belfield et al. [2]. The characteristic property of a reinforced composite is that its components act together as a single anisotropic unit as long as they remain in the elastic conditions.

The reinforcement introduces anisotropy in the medium which becomes transversely isotropic. For wave propagation in an isotropic homogeneous medium; the introduction of displacement potentials leads to the decoupling of P, SV & SH motions. The decoupling cannot be achieved for wave propagation in transversely isotropic media (see, e.g., Rahman & Ahmad [8]). Stresses produced in a fibre-reinforced half-space due to moving load was discussed by Chattopadhyay and Venkateswarlu [5].

For studying the propagation of surface waves in fiber -reinforced anisotropic elastic media, Sengupta & Nath [10] used the method of potential to decouple the P & SV motions which is not justified. Therefore Singh [11] pointed out that the results of Sengupta and Nath (2001) are in error regarding Rayleigh and Stoneley waves. Same mistake was done by Abd-Alla et al. [1] to investigate the surface waves in fibre-reniforced anisotropic elastic medium under gravity field.

In this paper, the author studies the propagation of surface waves in fibrereinforced anisotropic elastic solid media for Rayleigh waves and Love waves using direct method . Numerical results for Rayleigh and Love surface waves are derived for specific materials and graphs are also drawn to show the effect of reinforced parameters on the speed of surface waves.

2. Basic Equations The constitutive equations for a fibre-reinforced linearly elastic anisotropic  medium with respect to the reinforcement direction a are (Belfield et al. [2])

σij = λe kk δij + 2µt e ij + α(a k a m e km δij + e kk a i a j ) +2(µL − µt )(a i a k e k j + a ja k e ki ) + βa k a m e km a i a j ,

(2.1)

where σij are components of stress; eij are components of strain; λ,μT are elastic constants; α, β, (μL-μT) are reinforcement parameters and   a = (a1 , a 2 , a 3 ), a12 + a22 + a32 = 1 . We choose the fibre-direction as a = (1, 0, 0) .

The strain components can be expressed in terms of the displacements ui as  ∂u ∂u j  . e ij =  i +  ∂x j ∂x i 

Equation (2.1) then yields

σ22 = a12

(3.1)

u=Ve−kqy e ik ( Cr t -x) , where U and V are the amplitude factors, i = −1 and q is assumed to be real and positive.Putting the values of the displacements in equation (2.7), we get

4. Boundary Conditions The displacements in equation (3.9) must satisfy the boundary conditions,

σ21 = σ22 = 0,at y = 0,

(4.1)

where σ21 and σ22 are defined in equation (2.3). For plane deformation in the ∂ x1x2-plane, = 0, u3 = 0 . Equation (2.3) then yields ∂x 3  ∂u ∂v  σ21 = µL  + ,  ∂y ∂x 

(4.2)

∂u ∂v σ22 = a12 , + a 22 ∂x ∂y where we have used the notation x1 = x, x2 = y, u1= u and u2 = v.

From equations (3.9) and (4.2), we get

(m1q1 + i) V11 + (m 2 q 2 + i) V12 = 0,

(a12 m1i + a 22 q1 ) V11 + (m 2 a12 i + a 2 q 2 ) V12 = 0.

(4.3)

Eliminating V11 and V12 from equation (4.3) ,we get

m1q1 + i a12 m1i + a 22 q1

m2q2 + i = 0. m 2 a12 i + a 2 q 2

(4.4)

On simplification , equation (4.4) becomes

(m1q1 + i)(m 2 a12 i + a 22 q 2 ) − (m 2 q 2 + i)(a12 m1i + a 22 q1 ) = 0. (4.5)  

This is the velocity equation for Rayleigh-waves in a fibre-reinforced elastic medium.

5. Particular Case If we put α = β = 0 and µL = µt = µ , the elastic cofficients become

A11 = λ + 2µ, A12 = λ, B1 = µ,

A22 = λ + 2µ, A23 = λ, B2 = λ + µ.

6. Propagation of Love Waves Consider an isotropic layer of fibre-reinforced elastic medium of thickness H over a homogeneous anisotropic fibre-reinforced elastic half space. The surface of contact in plane x2 = 0 and x2 axis is directed vertically downwards. The wave is assumed to propagate along the x1 – direction. An antiplane strain equation of motion for Love waves, in the upper layer is obtained from third equation of ∂ (2.6) by putting u1=u2 = 0, u3 = w,x1 = x,x2 = y,x3 = z and = 0 , as ∂xs

10. Numerical Results and Discussion To study the effect of reinforcement on the velocity of Rayleigh waves we use the following numerical values for the physical constant (Chattopadhyay, [5])

λ = 5.65×10 9 Nm−2 ,

µL = 5.65×109 Nm−2 ,

µT = 2.46 ×109 Nm−2 ,

α = −1.28 ×10 9 Nm−2 ,

β = 220.90 ×10 9 Nm−2

ρ = 7800 kg m−3 .

We obtain the numerical values of constants from equation (2.4) using above values as A11 = 241.71×10 9 Nm−2 ,

A12 = 4.387 ×10 9 Nm−2 ,

A22 = 10.57 ×10 9 Nm−2 ,

A23 = 5.65×10 9 Nm−2 ,

B1 = 5.66 ×10 9 Nm−2 ,

B2 = 10.03×10 9 Nm−2 .

Making use of equations (3.3) and (3.5)-(3.8) in equation (4.5), the velocity equation for Rayleigh waves can be modified as 2

The values calculated by Sengupta and Nath [10] for velocity of Rayleigh waves are not coincide of our results however same values of physical quantities are used for numerical calculations. It is clear the above numerical results of Rayleigh waves velocity in a fibre reinforced elastic medium is considerably higher than the Rayleigh waves velocity in isotropic medium. In this reference terrestrial Rayleigh waves is about 3 km /s(Love [7], p.160).

µL

It is clear for the existence of Love waves p1 should be imaginary and p1’ is real satisfied if (µL’ / ρ ’) < CL2 < (µL / ρ) depends upon the reinforced parameters µL and µL’ .The upper limit of CL for the existence of Love waves in different elastic media is given as.

Copper (ore) Silicon

µ / ρ = 4.238 km / s

µ / ρ = 5.649 km / s

It is clear from the numerical values of upper limit of CL for the existence of propagation of Love waves in the fibre- reinforced medium decreases in compression with the upper limits in the other elastic medium.

Figure 3 shows that upper limit of CL in km/s for the existence of Love waves in the medium increases as µL increases, density remains constant .

11. Conclusion We conclude that the Rayleigh waves velocity in a fibre-reinforced elastic medium is higher than the Rayleigh wave velocity in isotropic media. The upper limit for the existence of Love waves in fibre-reinforced medium is less than other elastic medium .Hence the speed of Rayleigh waves and Love waves are affected by reinforced parameters. In the absence of reinforced parameters the velocity equation of each surface waves coincide with the classical results for isotropic elastic medium.
