Abstract: This paper investigates Love-type wave propagation in a multilayered, elastic, prestressed solid half-space with voids. Using the Haskell matrix method, the dispersion relation is derived for a stress-free boundary surface. Two distinct dispersive fronts of Love-type waves, propagating at different speeds, are identified. One behaves like waves in a prestressed elastic half-space, while the other is novel due to voids. Analytical expressions for three-layered and two-layered models are provided. Graphical representations compare the dispersion curves, highlighting differences and dependencies. The study explores how void parameters, initial stress, and layer thickness influence phase velocity, with applications in various engineering fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
