This work deals with the extension of the partition of unity finite element method (PUFEM) "(Comput. Meth. Appl. Mech. Eng.139 (1996) pp. 289–314; Int. J. Numer. Math. Eng.40 (1997) 727–758)" to solve wave problems involving propagation, transmission and reflection in layered elastic media. The proposed method consists of applying the plane wave basis decomposition to the elastic wave equation in each layer of the elastic medium and then enforce necessary continuity conditions at the interfaces through the use of Lagrange multipliers. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed technique is determined by comparing results for selected problems with known analytical solutions. Complementary results dealing with the modeling of pure Rayleigh waves are also presented where the PUFEM model incorporates information about the pressure and shear waves rather than the Rayleigh wave itself.

The present investigation is devoted to the study of the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous, transversely isotropic, thermoelastic diffusive half-space subjected to stress-free, thermally insulated and (or) isothermal, and chemical potential boundary conditions, in the context of the theory of coupled thermoelastic diffusion. Secular equations for surface-wave propagation in the media being considered are derived. The surface-particle paths during the motion are found to be elliptical, but degenerate into straight lines in case where there is no phase difference between the horizontal and vertical components of the surface displacements. The phase velocity; attenuation coefficient; specific loss of energy; and the amplitudes of surface displacements, temperature change, and concentration are computed numerically and presented graphically to depict the anisotropy and diffusion effects. Some special cases of frequency equations are also deduced from the present investigation.

The stress analysis of multilayered anisotropic media subjected to applied surface tractions is performed within the framework of linear plane elasticity. The solutions are obtained based on the Fourier transform technique together with the aid of the stiffness matrix approach. A general solution procedure is introduced such that it can be uniformly applied to media with transversely isotropic, orthotropic, and monoclinic layers. As an illustrative example, responses of the semi-infinite media composed of unidirectional and angle-ply layers to a given surface traction are presented.
