Abstract

Many different types of waves that propagate along interfaces are found in nature. We derive the general dispersion relation for interfacial waves along a planar viscoelastic boundary that separates two viscoelastic bulk media, from which the known dispersion relations of different interfacial waves are recovered in the respective parameter limits. Our theory allows us to model acoustic wave-guiding phenomena at biological membranes, where viscoelastic properties are particularly relevant.
