Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Frequency dependences of the velocity and attenuation coefficients of the waves propagating along a flat interface between a saturated porous medium and gas (vacuum) are studied. It is shown that the propagation of one or two surface modes is possible, depending on the parameters of the saturated porous medium and the conditions on the interface.
