Abstract
The paper contains the analysis of the propagation of acoustic waves in two-component poroelastic media. It is shown that the existence of P2-mode as a wave in the range of low frequencies depends on the way in which the wave is excited. This property as well as properties of other bulk modes are discussed on practical examples of soil mechanics.
