Analysis of the effect of gravity and nonhomogeneity on Rayleigh waves in higher-order elastic-viscoelastic half-space

In this study, the coupled effects of gravity and nonhomogeneity on Rayleigh waves in an anisotropic layer placed over an isotropic viscoelastic half-space of higher order are discussed. The dispersion properties of waves are derived. The numerical solutions are also discussed for the Rayleigh waves...
