Abstract

A generalization of the Wiechert condition by introducing two independent dimensionless parameters instead of one parameter in the original Wiechert condition is proposed. Variation of Stoneley wave velocity at varying two parameters of the generalized Wiechert condition at different Poisson’s ratios is studied revealing a substantial discrepancy in Stoneley wave velocity profiles.
