Abstract: The number of possible surface waves on a viscoelastic half-space is investigated numerically as a function of the material parameters. The results are applied to simple theoretical models of viscoelastic behavior and also to experimental data. It is concluded that two surface waves are possible on some rocks and on nearly all solid polymers.
