Abstract
Within the framework of a heterogeneous anisotropic layer laid over a pre-stressed half-space, propagation of torsional surface wave is investigated. We have considered two different cases of heterogeneity function in the anisotropic layer, namely exponential and trigonometric hyperbolic functions. We have also obtained two different dispersion equations for both cases of heterogeneities on the torsional wave propagation in the said model. The effects of heterogeneities and pre-stress on the torsional wave of phase velocity have been shown graphically for their different numerical values.
