Rayleigh wave propagation in transversely isotropic magneto-thermoelastic medium with three-phase-lag heat transfer and diffusion

Abstract

The present research deals with the propagation of Rayleigh wave in transversely isotropic magneto-thermoelastic homogeneous medium in the presence of mass diffusion and three-phase-lag heat transfer. The wave characteristics such as phase velocity, attenuation coefficients, specific loss, and penetration depths are computed numerically and depicted graphically. The normal stress, tangential stress components, temperature change, and mass concentration are computed and drawn graphically. The effects of three-phase-lag heat transfer, GN type-III, and LS theory of heat transfer are depicted on the various quantities. Some particular cases are also deduced from the present investigation.
