A collection of works is presented in which the author explores
mostly via computational modeling the solution of the PDE's
governing wave motion in viscoelastic solids and in multi-phase
porous materials. The aim: quantifying the dissipative effects on
amplitudes, particle polarization, Q attenuation, dispersion,
velocities, etc. Maxwell models are considered in the first section
of the book. In the second the averaged motions of the solid frame
and viscous fluids of porous materials are quantified using Biot,
de la Cruz and Spanos and Sahay theories. A variety of finite
difference and pseudospectral algorithms are used to discretizing
the PDE's. Inquisitiveness bore fruits; the new findings include:
1-Biot fluid flows display vortexes; 2-Wavefronts can be traced as
transient porosity oscillations; 3-Medium displays porosity
relaxation; 4-Slow P-waves propagate tens of meters in finite
viscosity materials; 5-Slow S-waves can propagate in hydrocarbon
bearing rocks; 6-Waves can be elliptically polarized in a porous
uniform medium; etc. Since this work deals primarily with waves the
book can be useful in exploration and earthquake seismology,
geotechnical, medical imaging, etc.
