Ahmed, S. M. Rayleigh waves in a thermoelastic granular medium under initial stress. (English) Zbl 0963.74031 Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 23, No. 9, 627-637 (2000). Summary: We study the effect of initial stress on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a granular medium under incremental thermal stresses. We also obtain the frequency equation, in the form of a twelfth-order determinantal expression, which is in agreement with the corresponding classical results.
