... function approach. A generalized dispersion relation for Love-type waves is derived by enforcing the continuity conditions at the layer – half-space interface and exploiting the symmetric properties of the Green’s function. Findings The obtained dispersion relation is subsequently reduced...

... interface is the hallmark of this investigation. Design/methodology/approach FG in the half-space is caused by quadratic variations in the elastic constants and density. The framework of this study also encompasses the use of Green’s functions technique and Fourier transforms, non-dimensionalization...

... of Picard’s iteration approach, an analogous integral form for the quasilinearized DDBVPs is developed in terms of Green’s function and the convergence controller parameter. The study also covered the convergence analysis of the iterative technique. Findings Numerical illustrations are presented...

... source on horizontally polarized shear-wave (SH-wave) propagation has been studied intensely. Design/methodology/approach Techniques of Green’s function and Fourier transform are applied to acquire displacement components, and with the help of boundary conditions, complex frequency equation has been...
