Abstract
In this paper the study of propagation of Rayleigh type wave in a homogeneous initially stressed isotropic viscoelastic layer of Voigt-type resting on a rigid base has been dealt. The closed form expression of phase velocity is deduced analytically and obtained result is found to be in well agreement with the pre-established result in a special case. Numerical computation has been carried out for the derived dispersion equation to analyse the effect of viscoelastic parameters and initial stress on phase velocity of Rayleigh type wave. It is observed that viscoelastic parameters and initial stress parameter have significant effect on the phase velocity of Rayleigh-type wave which has been illustrated graphically.
