摘要
In this paper, we investigated the propagation of magneto-thermoelastic surfacewaves in fibre-reinforced anisotropic general viscoelastic media of higher order ofnth order,including time rate of strain under the influence of rotation and magnetic field.The generalsurface wave speed is derived to study the effects of rotation, magnetic field and thermal onsurface waves. Particular cases for Stoneley, Love and Rayleigh waves are discussed. Theresults obtained in this investigation are more general in the sense that some earlier publishedresults are obtained from our result as special cases. Our results for viscoelastic of order zeroare well agreed to fibre-reinforced materials. Comparison was made with the results obtainedin the presence and absence of rotation, magnetic field and parameters for fibre-reinforced ofthe material medium. It is also observed that, surface waves cannot propagate in a fast rotatingmedium. Numerical results for particular materials are given and illustrated graphically. Theresults indicate that the effect of rotation, magnetic field on fibre-reinforced anisotropic generalviscoelastic media are very pronounced.
