Wave propagation across rock joints filled with viscoelastic medium using modified recursive method

Rock joints have significant effects on wave propagation. When the joints are filled with saturated sand or clay, the filling materials exhibit viscoelastic behavior on wave propagation. In the present study, wave propagation across single and multiple parallel joints filled with viscoelastic medium is examined. Based on a layered medium model, the recursive method is adopted and a modification is made under some special conditions for faster...
