...Rajkumar Gaddam; Somaiah Kamidi; Srinivas Remidi Purpose The purpose of this article is the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous, isotropic, initially stressed orthotropic elastic solid half-space lying under a homogeneous, viscous, inviscid liquid layer of finite thickness. Design...

...Latha Madhuri Poonem; Rajitha Gurijala; Sindhuja Ala; Malla Reddy Perati Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of initial stress and heterogeneity on the propagation of torsional waves in dissipative medium. The problem consists of dry sand poroelastic half-space embedded...

... of the shear wave propagations have been studied in an inhomogeneous poro-anelastic strip of finite thickness, which is clamped between an inhomogeneous poroelastic strip of finite thickness and an elastic half-space. Both the strips are initially stressed and the half-space is self-weighted. Analytical...

... in large-amplitude vibration. Additionally, initial stresses and geometric imperfections are widespread in this type of structure. Furthermore, it is universally known that initial stresses and geometric imperfections may affect mechanical behavior of structures severely, particularly in dynamic analysis...

...Sindhuja Ala; Rajitha Gurijala; Malla Reddy Perati Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of reinforcement, inhomogeneity and initial stress on the propagation of shear waves. The problem consists of magneto poroelastic medium sandwiched between self-reinforced medium...

...Pengfei Shan; Xingping Lai Purpose This paper aims to present an associated methodology to evaluate the initial stress of coal-rock masses in steeply inclined coal seams. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of the real-time monitoring data in the field, the corresponding analytical...
