Abstract
The present paper is concerned with magneto-visco-elastic surface waves in conducting media involving time rate of strain and stress of first order, the media being under an initial stress of hydrostatic tension or compression. The theory of magneto-visco-elastic surface waves in a conducting medium involving time rate of strain and stress of first order is derived under an initial stress. The above general theory is then employed to characterise Rayleigh, Love and Stoneley waves. Results obtained in the above cases reduce to well-known classical results when viscosity and magnetic field are absent.
