Analytical study on shear wave propagation in anisotropic dry sandy spherical layered structure

An analytical study on the propagation characteristics of shear wave in a spherical layered structure comprising of an isotropic sandy material medium covered by a concentric spherical transversely isotropic sandy material layer of finite thickness has been carried out in the present work. The source of excitation for wave propagation is considered in the outer layer and the analytical treatment with contour integration and Fourier-Legendre...
