Influence of rotation and generalized magneto-thermoelastic on Rayleigh waves in a granular medium under effect of initial stress and gravity field

摘要

Influence of rotation, relaxation times, magnetic field, initial stress and gravity field on attenuation coefficient (Imaginary part of frequency equation root) and Rayleigh waves velocity (the real part of frequency equation root) in an elastic half-space of granular medium is studied. The analytical solution is obtained by using Lame's potential techniques. The numerical calculations are carried out for the frequency equation of Rayleigh waves velocity. The results are displayed graphically. Some results of previous investigations are deduced as special cases from this study.
