Effect of gravity on visco-elastic surface waves in solids involving time rate of strain and stress of higher order

A study is made of the surface waves in a higher order visco-elastic solid involving time rate of change of strain and stress under the influence of gravity. A fairly general equation for the wave velocity is derived. This equation is used to examine various kinds of surface waves including Rayleigh...
