The present investigation deals with the propagation of straight and circularly crested Lamb waves in a swelling porous elastic layer subjected to stress free boundary. A Helmholtz decomposition technique has been used to simplify the mathematical model. The secular equations for different mechanical situations are obtained. Numerical computations are performed to compute the symmetric and skew-symmetric phase velocity and attenuation coefficient in Swelling Porous (SP) and without Swelling Porous (elastic) (WSP) media. At short wavelength limits, the secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric waves in the stress free swelling porous and without swelling porous elastic layer reduce to the Rayleigh surface wave frequency equation. The amplitudes of displacements and stresses are obtained and are presented graphically. Some special cases have been deduced from the present investigation. The present study has immense applications to geophysical problems and structure problems.
