Propagation of Love-type wave in an initially stressed porous medium over a semi-infinite orthotropic medium with the irregular interface has been studied. The method of separation of variables has been adopted to get the dispersion relation of Love-type wave. The irregularity is assumed to be rectangular at the interface of the layer and half-space. Finally, the dispersion relation of Love wave has been obtained in classical form. The presence of porosity, irregularity, and initial stress in the dispersion equation approves the significant effect of these parameters in the propagation of Love-type waves in porous medium bounded below by an orthotropic half-space. The scientific effect of porosity, irregularity, and initial stress in the phase velocity of the Love-type wave propagation has been studied and shown graphically.

In this paper, the effect of initial stress on the propagation of Love waves in a layered structure with a thin piezoelectric film bonded perfectly to an elastic substrate has been investigated. General dispersion equations, describing the properties of Love waves in both cases, electrically open case and electrically shorted case of the piezoelectric layer, have been obtained. The effects of inhomogeneity parameters in the substrate and the initial stress in both, the layer and the substrate on the phase velocity of Love waves, are analyzed and presented graphically. The analytical method and obtained results may find applications for designing the resonators and sensors.
