Rayleigh waves in a viscoelastic half-space under initial hydrostatic stress in presence of the temperature field

The effect of the temperature and initial hydrostatic stress has been shown on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a viscoelastic half-space. It has been explained how the velocity of Rayleigh waves depends not only on the parameters pertaining to the viscoelastic properties of the half-space, bu...
