Plane Waves in Isotropic Fluids and Solids

  • Chapter
Propagation of Sound in Porous Media

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to introduce the stress–strain relations, the basic equations governing sound propagation and expressions for the kinetic and potential energies which will be useful for the understanding of the Biot theory. The framework of the presentation is the linear theory of elasticity. Total derivatives with respect to time d/dt are systematically replaced by partial derivatives ∂/∂t. The presentation is carried out with little explanation.
