Upper half-space is considered as homogeneous as well as lower half-space is heterogeneous. Both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. The study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. The dispersion relation of torsional surface wave has been obtained in the presence of heterogeneity, initial stress and anisotropic, and it is observed that the inhomogeneity factor due to quadratic and hyperbolic variations in rigidity, density and initial stress of the medium decreases the phase velocity as it increases. The result also shows that the initial stresses have a pronounced influence on the propagation of torsional surface waves. In the absence of anisotropy, Initial stress, inhomogeneity and rigidity of the upper half-space, then the dispersion relation coincide with the classical dispersion relation of Love wave. c 016 The Authors.

Introduction The earth is layered solid under high initial stresses. One type of surface waves may be available in the nonhomogeneous earth, which is known as torsional surface waves. These waves are horizontally polarized. They give a twist to the medium when it propagates. Due to the importance in various fields such as civil engineering, earthquake engineering, etc. the study of torsional surface waves in anisotropic layered between two half space has been of central interest to the theoretical seismologists. In this study, a heterogeneity model is proposed to propagate the torsional surface waves in anisotropic layer lying between two half-space (as shown in Fig. (1)). Numerous papers on the propagation of surface waves in inhomogeneous half-space have been published in various journals, due to their devastating damage capabilities during earthquake and possible applications in geophysical prospecting. Literature for propagation of torsional surface waves is relatively very less, if compared to other surface waves. Abd-Alla and Ahmed [1] subsequently discussed about the propagation of Love waves in a nonhomogeneous orthotropic elastic layer under initial stress overlying semi-infinite medium.

Pramod Kumar Vaishnav and Santimoy Kundu / Procedia Engineering 144 ( 016 ) 170 177 171 space under initial stress have been studied by Chattopadhyay et al. []. Effect of rigid boundary on propagation of torsional surface waves in porous elastic layer was studied by Gupta et al. [3]. The effect of initial stress in the medium is due to many reasons, for example resulting from the difference of temperature, process of quenching, shot peening and cold working, slow process of creep, differential external forces, gravity variations etc. These stresses have a pronounced influence on the wave propagation as shown by Biot [4]. Kepceler [5] explained the torsional wave dispersion relation in a pre-stressed bi-material compounded cylinder with an imperfect interface. Torsional wave propagation in a pre-stressed circular cylinder embedded in a pre-stressed elastic medium was contributed by Ozturk and Akbbarov [6]. Biot [7] established the theory on mechanics of incremental deformation. Several graphs are plotted to show the nature of torsional surface waves in heterogeneity model, for that purpose the numerical data of the components have been taken from various books (Love [8]-[9], Ewing et al. [10], Biot [11]). Keeping these in view (propagation of various surface waves and torsional surface waves), the present paper contains propagation of torsional surface wave in anisotropic layer between two half-space. Upper half-space has been taken homogeneous with initial stress and quadratic variations in rigidity, density and initial stresses have been taken in lower half-space with the inhomoheneity parameter α having dimension equal to length. Whereas, middle layer has been considered as inhomogeneous anisotropic layer with variation in rigidity, density as N = N 1 e βz, L = L 1 e βz, ρ = ρ 1 e βz, where β is inhomogeneity parameter having dimension equal to length. x-axis is taken along the direction of wave propagation and z-axis is vertically downward to the direction of wave propagation having origin at the interface (as shown in Fig. (1)). The inhomogeneity and initial stresses have the visible effects on the phase velocity of wave propagation. It is observed that phase velocity increases with increase in initial stress of half spaces. The presents model gives the dispersion relation of torsional surface waves in the presences of anisotropic, heterogeneity and initial stress. The classical dispersion relation of Love waves have been obtained in the absence of anisotropy, initial stresses, inhomogeneity and rigidity L 0 of the upper half-space, in other words, the torsional wave mode changes into the Love wave mode and this conversion shows that such kind heterogeneity model exists in the Earth and allows the torsional surface waves to propagate.. Formulation of the problem We have described a cylindrical coordinate system with z-axis positive vertically downwards. The origin of the coordinate system is located at the surface of the lower half-space at the circular region and x-axis is taken along the direction of wave propagation (as shown in Fig. (1)). Variation in rigidity, density and initial stress in lower half-space have been expressed as N = N (1 + αz), L = L (1 + αz), ρ = ρ (1 + αz), P = P (1 + αz) similarly, for upper homogeneous half-space and anisotropic layer having variation as N = N 0, L = L 0, ρ = ρ 0, P = P 0 N = N 1 e βz, L = L 1 e βz, ρ = ρ 1 e βz where N 0, L 0, N 1, L 1, N, L ρ 0,ρ 1,ρ and P 0, P represents rigidities, densities and initial stresses in respective medium. 3. Dynamics and solution for the inhomogeneous anisotropic layer The equation of motion in an anisotropic layer may be written as Biot [7]: σ rθ r + σ zθ z + r σ rθ = ρ v t (1)

17 Pramod Kumar Vaishnav and Santimoy Kundu / Procedia Engineering 144 ( 016 ) 170 177 Fig. 1. Geometry of the problem where r and θ be radial and circumferential coordinates respectively, ρ is the density and v(r, z, t) is the displacement component along θ direction. Stress-strain relation for a inhomogeneous anisotropic elastic layer given as σ rθ = Ne rθ, σ zθ = Ne zθ () ( v where strain components are express as e rθ = 1 r ) v r, ezθ = 1 z. N and L are represents rigidities of the medium along r and z directions, respectively. Eq. (1) takes the following form by using relation () ( v N r v r + 1 ) v + ( L v ) = ρ v r z z z t. (3) When wave propagates along radial direction with amplitude of displacement as a function of depth then the solution of equation (3) may be expressed as v = V(z)J 1 (kr)e iωt (4) ω represent circular frequency of the wave and J 1 is the Bessel s function of first kind and of order one. V(z) isthe solution of following equation d V dz + 1 ( ) dl dv L dz dz k N 1 c ρ V = 0 (5) L N where c = ω/k is the velocity of the propagation of torsional surface wave. Now, substituting, V = V 1 / L in equation (5), we get d V 1 1 d L dz L dz 1 L ( dl dz v ) V 1 = k N L ( ) 1 c ρ V 1. (6) N Consider the exponential variation in elastic moduli, rigidities and density in the inhomogeneous anisotropic layer i.e. N = N 1 e βz, L = L 1 e βz, ρ = ρ 1 e βz (7) where β is inhomogeneity parameter and N 1, L 1, ρ 1 are rgidities and density as z 0. Using Eq. (7), Eq. (6) becomes: d V 1 dz + λ 1 V 1 = 0 (8) where λ 1 = { ( k N 1 /L 1 c /c 1 1) β /4k } and c 1 = N 1 /ρ 1 is the shear wave velocity in the layer. The solution of Eq. (8) is given by V 1 (z) = A 1 e iλ1z + B 1 e iλ 1z (9) where A 1 and B 1 are arbitrary constants and hence the displacement in the middle inhomogeneous anisotropic layer is given by v 1 = 1/ L 1 { A1 e iλ 1z + B 1 e iλ 1z } J 1 (kr)e iωt (10)

Pramod Kumar Vaishnav and Santimoy Kundu / Procedia Engineering 144 ( 016 ) 170 177 173 4. Dynamics of prestressed inhomogeneous anisotropic half spaces If r and θ are the radial and circumferential coordinates respectively, the equation of motion for the initially stressed anisotropic half space is given by Biot [7] σ rθ r + σ zθ z + r σ rθ z ( ) P v = ρ v (11) z t where σ rθ and σ zθ represents incremental stress components of anisotropic half-spaces, v = v(r, z, t) the displacement along θ direction, P is the initial compressive stress along the radial coordinate r, and ρ is the density of the medium. Relation between stress and strain for anisotropic layer is σ rθ = N ( v/ r v/r), σ zθ = L v/ z where N and L are the rigidities of the medium along r and z directions respectively. By using above relation, Eq. (11) may reduced as ( v r + 1 v r r v ) 1 ( G v ) = ρ ( ) v (1) r N z z N t where G n = L n (P n /), n = 0, 1,., since the middle layer does not contain any initial stress i.e. P 1 = 0. Assuming the solution of Eq. (1) as v = V(z)J 1 (kr)e iωt, where ω is the angular frequency, Eq. (1) takes the form d V dz + G n dv G n dz + N G n ) (k ρω V(z) = 0. (13) N Assuming Eq. (13) can be written as d V dz 1 d G n G n dz V(z) = V(z)/ G n (14) ( ) 1 dg n + N G n dz G n ) (k ρω N V(z) = 0 (15) where ω = kc, c the phase velocity of the torsional surface waves in initial stressed half space. 4.1. Solution of upper homogeneous half-space Consider the elastic moduli, density and initial stress with depth z as N = N 0, L = L 0, ρ = ρ 0, P = P 0 (16) using relation (16), Eq. (15) takes the form d V dz λ 0V(z) = 0 (17) where λ 0 = k N 0 /G 0 { 1 c /c 0}. The solution of Eq. (17) is given by V(z) = B 0 e λ 0z (18) where B 0 is arbitrary constant. Therefore the solution of Eq. (11) is v = v 0 = 1/ G 0 e λ 0z J 1 (kr)e iωt B 0. (19)

174 Pramod Kumar Vaishnav and Santimoy Kundu / Procedia Engineering 144 ( 016 ) 170 177 4.. Solution of lower half-space Consider the quadratic variation in elastic moduli, density and initial stress with depth z as N = N (1 + αz), L = L (1 + αz), ρ = ρ (1 + αz), P = P (1 + αz) (0) where α is an inhomogeneity parameter in lower half-space. Using relation (0), Eq. (15) take the form d V dz λ V(z) = 0 (1) where λ = k N /G ( 1 c /c ) and c = N /ρ is the shear wave velocity in the medium along the radial direction. Solution of Eq. (1) is given by V(z) = A e λ z + B e λ z The magnitude of the surface wave propagating in the medium decays rapidly with increase in depth, so the solution of Eq. (1) may be taken as V(z) = A e λ z () where A and B are arbitrary constant. In view of Eqs. (14) and (), the solution of Eq. (11) takes the form v(z) = v (z) = A e λ z J 1 (kr)e iωt G (1 + αz) (3) where v (z) represents the displacement in lower half-space. 5. Boundary conditions The following boundary conditions must be satisfied. The continuity of the displacement at interface z = H is and continuity at the interface z = 0is v 0 v 0 (z) = v 1 (z), L 0 z = L v 1 1 z (4) v 1 v 1 (z) = v (z), L 1 z = L v z where v 0 (z) and v (z) are displacement components of upper and lower half-space and v 1 (z) is the displacement component of middle layer. (5) 6. Phase velocity equations Phase velocity equations will be obtained by using of above mentioned boundary conditions into Eqs. (10), (19) and (3), we have following equations as e λ 0H G0 B 0 = 1 L1 ( A1 e iλ 1H + B 1 e iλ 1H ) (6) L 0 λ 0 e λ0h B 0 = L 1 e ( ) βh iλ 1 e iλ1h A 1 + iλ 1 e iλ1h B 1 G0 (7) 1 L1 (A 1 + B 1 ) = 1 G A (8) L1 ( iλ 1 A 1 + iλ 1 B 1 ) = L G (λ + α) A (9)

Pramod Kumar Vaishnav and Santimoy Kundu / Procedia Engineering 144 ( 016 ) 170 177 175 7. Dispersion relation Eliminating all the constants from the phase velocity equations, we have [ ] L λ 1 (λ + α)e βh + L 0 λ 0 λ 1 tan(λ 1 H) = [ L1 λ 1 e βh L 0L λ 0 (λ +α) L 1 ] (30) Equation (30) represents the dispersion relation of the torsional surface waves in the assumed heterogeneity model. 7.1. Case-I When P 0 = 0 and N 0 = L 0 i.e. the upper half-space has constant density and rigidity, the Eq. (30) takes the form as [ ] L λ 1 (λ + α)e βh + L 0 m 0 λ 1 tan(λ 1 H) = [ L1 λ 1 e βh L 0L m 0 (λ +α) L 1 ] (31) where m 0 = k (1 c /c 0 ) and the above Eq. (31) represents the dispersion relation of torsional surface waves when upper half-space is homogeneous. 7.. Case-II If β 0, N 1 = L 1 and P 1 = 0, then Eq. (30) reduces to tan(m 1 H) = [L m 1 (λ + α) + L 0 λ 0 m 1 ] [ L1 m 1 L 0L λ 0 (λ +α) L 1 ] (3) where m 1 = k (c /c 1 1) and the above Eq. (3) represents the dispersion relation of torsional surface wave in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer. 7.3. Case-III Setting α 0, N = L and P = 0 in the Eq. (30), we get [ ] L λ 1 m e βh + L 0 λ 0 λ 1 tan(λ 1 H) = [ ] (33) L1 λ 1 e βh L 0L λ 0 m L 1 where m = k (1 c /c ). In this case, Eq. (30) represents the dispersion relation of torsional surface wave for constant rigidity and density in the lower half-space. 7.4. Case-IV Considering α 0, β 0, P 0 = P 1 = P = 0, N 0 = L 0, N 1 = L 1 = μ 1, N = L = μ and neglecting the density(l 0 ) of upper half-space in Eq. (30), we get tan kh c c 1 1 = μ μ 1 c c 1 1 c c which is the classical dispersion relation of the torsional surface wave in an heterogeneity model. Eq. (34) is a well known classical dispersion equation of Love wave (Love [9]). 1 (34)

Numerical computation and discussions To show the propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer, the phase velocity c/c 1 has been calculated numerically from the Eq.

Fig. () represents the effect of inhomogeneity parameter α/k on the propagation of torsional surface wave. In this figure, all curves are plotted by taking α/k = 0.1, 0., 0.3 and the constant values of other parameters have been taken as P 0 /L 0 = P /L = 0. and β/k = 0.. Torsional wave velocity increases for the increasing value of α/k at all points and it is more visible at higher frequency. It is also observed that the phase velocity(c/c 1 ) decreases with the increases of wave number(kh). Phase velocity of the torsional surface waves has been effected in heterogeneous medium as shown in Fig. (). Fig. (3) has been plotted for different values of inhomogeneity parameter β/k and the other parameters remains constant. The value of β/k for the curve 1, curve and curve 3 has been taken as 0.1, 0. and 0.3 respectively.

Pramod Kumar Vaishnav and Santimoy Kundu / Procedia Engineering 144 ( 016 ) 170 177 177 In this figure, the effect of parameter β/k is visible for low frequency and curves are shifted closer to each other at higher frequency, that is, inhomogeneity parameter β/k come into effect on phase velocity of the torsional surface waves for low frequency. Fig. (4) depicts the variation of phase velocity(c/c 1 ) with respect to the wave number kh for different values of initial stress(p 0 /L 0 ) in upper half-space. Initial stress(p 0 /L 0 ) has been taken as 0., 0.4 and 0.6 for curve no.1, curve no. and curve no.3 and constant parameters have been taken as P /L = 0., α/k = 0. = β/k = 0.. The higher magnitude in initial stress(p 0 /L 0 ) has more effects on the phase velocity of torsional surface waves and phase velocity(c/c 1 ) decrease with increases of wave number(kh) with the effect of initial stress(p 0 /L 0 ) in upper half-space. Fig. (5) appears the effect of initial stress(p /L ) of lower half-space on the propagation of torsional surface waves in particular range. In this figure, the value of initial stress(p /L ) has been taken as 0., 0.4 and 0.6 for curve no.1 to curve no.3. From this figure it has been observed that phase velocity increases with increases in initial stress(p /L ) with respect to wave number(kh). And it has also the effect for large magnitude in that particular range. 9. Conclusions In this study the propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces has been investigated analytically. It is observed that there is a significant effect of heterogeneity, initial stresses simultaneously on the propagation of torsional waves. It is found that, the phase velocity is more in the case of quadratic inhomogeneity(upper half-space) rather than hyperbolic (lower half-space). From the above figures we may conclude that: Dimensionless phase velocity c/c 1 of torsional surface wave decreases with increases of non-dimensional wave number kh with visible effect of initial stresses and heterogeneity of the mediums. Dimensionless phase velocity increases with increases of heterogeneity parameters α/k and β/k. Effect of initial stresses on phase velocity of torsional waves have been shown in Fig. (4) and Fig. (5). Phase velocity increases with increases of parameters P 0 /L 0 and P /L. The results may be useful for the study of seismic wave propagation during any earthquake and artificial explosions.
