Attenuation of the Rayleigh Waves in a Covered Half-space Made of Viscoelastic Materials
Öz
This
paper investigates the attenuation of the generalized Rayleigh waves
propagating in a covered half-space made of viscoelastic materials. Exact
equations of motion of the theory of linear viscoelasticity are utilized. The
complex dispersion equation is obtained for an arbitrary type of hereditary
operator of the viscoelastic materials and a solution algorithm is developed
for obtaining numerical results on the attenuation of the waves under
consideration. Viscoelasticity of the materials are described through
fractional-exponential operators by Rabotnov. Attenuation curves are obtained
and discussed for the dispersion curves which are limited by the dispersion
curve constructed for the purely elastic cases with instantaneous and long-term
values of the elastic constants. According to this discussion, the rules of the
studied attenuation and the influence of the rheological parameters of the
materials on this attenuation are established. In particular, it is established
that a decrease in the values of the creep time of the viscoelastic materials
causes an increase in the magnitude of the attenuation coefficient.
