We computed a group velocity dispersion of Love surface wave and obtained lithosphere structure by using the method of the matchedfilter frequencytime analysis and grid dispersion inversion. Our result shows that crust structure below Antarctic Peninsula may be divided into three layers and their thickness are respectively 5 km,8 km and 10 km. Upper mantle velocity is 5.32 km/s and gradually changes into 5.11 4.9 km/s below 53 km.The mininum velocity is 4.8 km/s. It can be referred that Antarctic mantle is also of layered structure.展开更多

C. and Nunziato, J. W. Linear elastic materials with voids. Journal of Elasticity, 13(2), 125-147 (1983)). The velocity equation is derived, and the results are discussed. It is observed that there may be two torsional surface wave fronts in the medium whereas three wave fronts of torsional surface waves in the absence of the rigid boundary plane given by Dey et al. (Dey, S., Gupta, S., Gupta, A. K., Kar, S. K., and De, P. K. Propagation of torsional surface waves in an elastic layer with void pores over an elastic half-space with void pores. Tamkang Journal of Science and Engineering, 6(4), 241-249 (2003)). The results also reveal that in the porous layer, the Love wave is also available along with the torsional surface waves. It is remarkable that the phase speed of the Love wave in a porous layer with a rigid surface is different from that in a porous layer with a free surface. The torsional waves are observed to be dispersive in nature, and the velocity decreases as the oscillation frequency increases.展开更多
