PROPAGATION OF ACCELERATION-WAVES IN INCOMPRESSIBLE SATURATED POROUS SOLIDS
Within the framework of the incompressible porous media model, the propagation properties of acceleration waves in liquid-filled porous solids is discussed. The incompressibility of the two constituents in the model forces the amplitudes of the longitudinal waves in the skeleton and in the liquid to satisfy a certain relation. The two propagation speeds are presented by examination for the existence of acceleration waves and only longitudinal and transverse waves are realizable in the incompressible two-phase porous materials.
