Abstract
The present paper studies the propagation of torsional surface wave in a homogeneous isotropic substratum lying over a viscoelastic half space under the influence of rigid boundary. Dispersion relation has been obtained analytically in a closed form. The effect of internal friction, rigidity, wave number and time period on the phase velocity has been studied numerically. Dispersion equation thus obtained match perfectly with the classical dispersion equation of Love wave when derived as a particular case.
