Abstract:In this paper,we investigated the inuence of rotating half-space on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous isotropic,generalized thermo-elastic body,subject to the boundary conditions that the surface is traction free.In addition,it is subject to insulating thermal conduction.A general solution is obtained by using Lame’potential’s and Hankel transform.The dispersion equations has been derived separately for two types of Rayleigh wave propagation properties by solving the equations of motion with appropriate boundary conditions.It is observed that the rotation,frequency and r exert some influence in the homogeneous isotropic medium due to propagation of Rayleigh waves.The frequency equation has been derived of homogeneous properties by solving the equations of motion with appropriate boundary conditions.It has been found that the frequency equation of waves contains a term involving the rotating.Therefore,the phase velocity of Rayleigh waves changes with respect to this rotating.When the rotating vanishes,the derived frequency equation reduces to that obtained in classical generalized thermo-elastic case which includes the relaxation time of heat conduction.In order to illustrate the analytical development,the numerical solution is carried out and computer simulated results in respect of Rayleigh wave velocity and attenuation coefficient are presented graphysically.A comparative and remarkable study has been carried out through various graphs to deliberate the consequences of different parameter on the frequency equation.The obtained results can be very useful in the design and optimization of Rayleigh wave.

That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel humiliated8. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete9（） . No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors.

The above roots correspond to the case in which the elastic wave and generalized heat condition equations are not coupled.For small?,i.e.,only the first order is taken.The roots of Eq.(25) take the form
