Abstract :
The present work examines the possibility of Love wave dispersion in an
irregular interface of two different media expressively as an inhomogeneous layer and
porous half-space. Dispersion equation has been computed in a compact form following
the expansion of transformation method, perturbation technique, Whittaker equation
and its derivative. The dispersion equation coincides with the classical equation of Love
type wave which agrees with the pre-established results. The graphs are sketched to
show the effect of porosity, irregularity and inhomogeneous parameters.
