Abstract:This paper investigates the attenuation of the generalized Rayleigh waves propagating in a covered half-space made of viscoelastic materials. Exact equations of motion of the theory of linear viscoelasticity are utilized. The complex dispersion equation is obtained for an arbitrary type of hereditary operator of the viscoelastic materials and a solution algorithm is developed for obtaining numerical results on the attenuation of the waves under consideration. Viscoelasticity of the materials are described thro… Show more
