文摘The present investigation is concerned with wave propagation in an electro-microstretch generalized thermoelastic solid half space. Two different cases have been discussed: (i) reflection of plane wave at the free surface of an electro-microstretch generalized thermoelastic solid; and (ii) propagation of Rayleigh waves in an electro-microstretch generalized thermoelastic solid half space. In case (i), the amplitude ratios of the various reflected waves have been computed numerically and depicted graphically against angle of incidence. In case (ii), the frequency equation is derived and dispersion curves giving phase velocity and attenuation coefficient as a function of wave number, have been plot- ted graphically for a specific model.
