SH-wave propagation in two micro-morphic contact half-spaces.

Abstract

In this work, the propagation of SH (Shear Horizontal) waves over two interconnected micro-morphic half spaces is investigated. By transforming the fundamental relations into the xy-plane and applying the well-known "plane harmonic solution" approach to solve them, the secular equation was produced. Three more waves are shown that are not present in classical elasticity. The study investigates how micro-morphic properties affect wave propagation, providing insights into how SH waves behave in non-classical materials.
