Abstract
The present paper investigates the propagation of anti-plane Rayleigh waves in an elastic three-layered inhomogeneous plate in the presence of viscous damping. The core layer is sandwiched between skin layers with appropriate perfect interfacial boundary conditions, while traction-free conditions are prescribed on the outer faces. The eigenfunctions expansion method is employed for the study. Various cases of damped and undamped situations have been examined in connection to the obtained displacements and shear stresses. Finally, the effects of viscous damping on the propagation of Rayleigh waves are reported graphically using some physical available data.
