A 1-D model is presented that couples the microscale oscillations of non-wetting fluid blobs in a partially saturated poroelastic medium with the macroscale wave propagation through the elastic skeleton. The fluid oscillations are caused by surface tension forces that act as the restoring forces driving the oscillations. The oscillations are described mathematically with the equation for a linear oscillator and the wave propagation is described with the 1-D elastic wave equation. Coupling is done using Hamilton's variational principle for continuous systems. The resulting linear system of two partial differential equations is solved numerically with explicit finite differences. Numerical simulations are used to analyse the effect of solids exhibiting internal oscillations, and consequently a resonance frequency, on seismic waves propagating through such media. The phase velocity dispersion relation shows a higher phase velocity in the high-frequency limit and a lower phase velocity in the low-frequency limit. At the resonance frequency a singularity in the dispersion relation occurs. Seismic waves can initiate oscillations of the fluid by transferring energy from solid to fluid at the resonance frequency. Due to this transfer, the spectral amplitude of the solid particle velocity decreases at the resonance frequency. After initiation, the oscillatory movement of the fluid continuously transfers energy at the resonance frequency back to the solid. Therefore, the spectral amplitude of the solid particle velocity is increased at the resonance frequency. Once initiated, fluid oscillations decrease in amplitude with increasing time. Consequently, the spectral peak of the solid particle velocity at the resonance frequency decreases with time.
