Abstract
The dispersion relation for electromagneto-thermo-mechanical (E-MTM) plane waves in electrically and thermally conducting, magneto-thermo-viscoelastic (MTVE) media is investigated with account for the effect of the external primary magnetic field. It is shown that several modes of E-MTM waves arise depending upon the direction of the magnetic field. Among them a particular attention is focused on a certain mode the pase velocities and the attenuation constants of which are obtained and some limiting values are discussed.
