基于各向异性多孔介质中的广义Ｂｉｏｔ理论，导出了横向各向同性多孔介质中波传播的特征方程．指出在多孔介质中有４种类型的频散和耗散波传播：准纵波ＱＰ１（快纵波）、准纵波ＱＰ２（慢纵波）、准横波ＱＳＶ和横渡ＳＨ．文中给出了４种波速度的解析表达式．数值计算频率曲线和衰减曲线与Ｓｃｈｍｉｔｔ（１９８９）用均值处理得到的结果类似．还给出了波传播过程中３种类型准体波之间的耦合系数（或称转换系数）． Based on the generalized Biot theory in anisotropic porous media, the characteristic equation of wave propagation in transversely isotropic porous media is derived. It is pointed out that there are four types of dispersion and dissipation wave propagation in porous media: quasi-longitudinal QP1, quasi-longitudinal QP2, quasi-transverse QSV and transverse SH. Four analytical expressions of wave velocity are given in this paper. The numerical calculation of the frequency and attenuation curves is similar to the one obtained by Schmitt (1989) using averaging. The coupling coefficient (or conversion coefficient) between the three types of quasi-body waves in wave propagation is also given.
