Abstract
The primary purpose of this paper is to examine the role of initial stress, magnetic field, coefficient of heat transfer, rotation, and inhomogeneity parameter on the Rayleigh wave propagation. The present investigation studies the propagation behaviour of Rayleigh surface waves in a liquid medium lying over an orthotropic rotating magneto-thermo-elastic medium under gravity and initial stress. The displacement in the two mediums has been found in the form of Mathieu-even and Mathieu-odd functions. The frequency equation has been achieved analytically with the help of these displacements and intrinsic boundary conditions. Numerical calculations and discussions have been performed with the use of a graphical presentation. It has been observed that the inhomogeneity parameter, initial stress, and the coefficient of heat transfer affect the wave velocity to a great extent, while the magnetic field and rotation produce a slight change in the velocity. The study may help in forecasting geophysical parameters at greater depth through signal processing and seismic data modelling.
