The problem deals with an investigation about propagation of Love type waves in a geometrical configuration which is composed of a viscoelastic layer sandwiched between fiber-reinforced layer and a substratum. The substratum is modeled using size-dependent consistent couple stress theory which involves a length scale parameter called characteristic length to capture the role of inner microstructures on the behavior of material. The geometric scheme of the problem is an attempt to approximate the inner structure of earth. The dispersion and damping equations are derived analytically for the propagation of Love type waves. The impact of various parameters such as fiber reinforcement parameters, heterogeneity, internal friction parameter, thickness ratio of the layers and microstructural parameter of couple stress substratum are presented on the propagation behavior of Love type waves.
