The aim of the present investigation is to study the effects of magnetic field, relaxation times, and rotation on the propagation of surface waves with imperfect boundary. The propagation between an isotropic elastic layer of finite thickness and a homogenous isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay (GL) model is studied. The secular equation for surface waves in compact form is derived after developing the mathematical model. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are obtained for stiffness, and then deduced for normal stiffness, tangential stiffness and welded contact. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are computed analytically at the free plane boundary. Some special cases are illustrated and compared with previous results obtained by other authors. The effects of rotation, magnetic field, and relaxation times on the speed, attenuation coefficient, and the amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are displayed graphically.

The paper considers the elastic layer which is pressed against a half space by loads that are not necessarily symmetric about the center of the loaded region. It is shown that the receding contact between the two bodies can be treated by means of superposition, leading to two homogeneous Fredholm integral equations for auxiliary functions that are directly related to the contact tractions. The determination of the extent of contact and the shift between the load and contact intervals can be viewed as an eigenvalue problem of the homogeneous integral equations. Specific numerical results are given for two types of triangular loads, and a comparison is made with certain symmetric loads.
