Abstract

We consider the propagation of thermo-elastic Rayleigh waves in a half space, which has been subjected to large uniform extensions, at constant temperature, in three mutually perpendicular directions, one being perpendicular to the surface, and the extension ratios in the other two directions being equal. Rayleigh waves, assuming (a) isentropic conditions and (b) isothermal conditions, are studied, and the relation of the approximation (a) to the exact thermo-elastic theory is considered.
