“…Rayleigh-type surface waves were also explored in the thermoelastic medium from earlier notable works by Lockett (1958), Nayfeh and Nemat-Nasser (1971), Agarwal (1978), Jurczyk and Klemens (1985) and Ivanov (1988) to some recent impressive works by Abouelregal (2011), Chirita (2013, Hussien and Bayones (2019) and Singh (2021). Rayleigh wave characteristics were also derived in thermally conducting porous media by Gales (2004), Chirita and Danescu (2015), Goyal et al (2016), Bucur (2016), Passarella and Tibullo (2016), Singh (2017), Zhou et al (2019) and Kumar et al (2021). The present study is motivated with the Eringen (2003) theory of micropolar mixture of porous media.…”
