Summary
Plane waves in a homogeneous and isotropic unbounded thermoelastic solid rotating with a uniform angular velocity are discussed in the context of the generalised thermoelasticity theory of Green and Lindsay. The effects of rotation of the body on the phase velocity, energy loss and decay coefficient are discussed in some detail for waves of small and large frequencies, and for small coupling between the thermal and mechanical fields. Results of earlier works are deduced as particular cases of the more general results obtained here.
