Rayleigh Waves in Generalized Magneto-Thermo-Viscoelastic Granular Medium under the Influence of Rotation, Gravity Field, and Initial Stress

الملخص EN

The surface waves propagation in generalized magneto-thermo-viscoelastic granular medium subjected to continuous boundary conditions has been investigated.

In addition, it is also subjected to thermal boundary conditions.

The solution of the more general equations are obtained for thermoelastic coupling.

The frequency equation of Rayleigh waves is obtained in the form of a determinant containing a term involving the coefficient of friction of a granular media which determines Rayleigh waves velocity as a real part and the attenuation coefficient as an imaginary part, and the effects of rotation, magnetic field, initial stress, viscosity, and gravity field on Rayleigh waves velocity and attenuation coefficient of surface waves have been studied in detail.

Dispersion curves are computed numerically for a specific model and presented graphically.

Some special cases have also been deduced.

The results indicate that the effect of rotation, magnetic field, initial stress, and gravity field is very pronounced.
