Nonstationary Rayleigh waves on the thermally-insulated surfaces of some thermoelastic bodies of revolution (Q5946878)

This investigation shows that during the propagation of nonstationary Rayleigh waves along stress-free thermally-insulated surfaces of thermoelastic bodies of revolution (cylinder, sphere torus and a cone) the change in amplitude of these waves, in the general case, is the product of three functions: a decaying exponential function, a power function, and a harmonic function. The occurrence of the decaying exponential function is associated with the coupling of strain and temperature fields.
