The present investigation deals with the wave propagation in heat conducting
transversely isotropic micropolar viscoelastic half space. Lord and Shulman (1967), Green
and Lindsay (1972) and coupled thermoelasticity theories are considered to investigate the
problem. The phase velocity and attenuation quality factors are obtained. The expressions for
amplitudes of displacement component, microrotation, temperature distribution and stress
components are obtained. The resulting quantities are computed numerically and effect of
viscosity on these is shown graphically. Some special cases are also introduced from the
present investigation.
