Abstract

In the present paper propagation of plane waves in swelling porous medium (SP) is studied. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficients of these waves are computed numerically and presented graphically. The results so obtained have been compared to without swelling porous elastic medium (EL). The fundamental solution of the system of differential equations in swelling porous medium in case of steady oscillations in terms of elementary functions has been constructed. Some basic properties are established and particular case of interest is also deduced.
