Abstract
The present paper deals with the study of Rayleigh waves in a thermoelastic homogeneous isotropic solid half space in the context of dual-phase-lag model. The medium is subjected to stress free, thermally insulated, boundary conditions. The equation for the phase velocity of Rayleigh waves and the analytical expressions for the amplitudes of the displacements, temperature and thermal stresses have been derived. The expressions are obtained for a wave traveling along the free surface. The results discussed numerically and illustrated graphically to show effect of the coupling parameter and phase-lags.
