Characteristics of localized wave and consequent theoretical models can be very precious in various applications in earthquake engineering, seismology, geophysics etc. The present paper deals with the localized wave (leaky Rayleigh waves) propagation through a transversely isotropic thermoelastic half-space overlaid by an anisotropic elastic layer of arbitrary thickness. The Lord–Shulman theory of generalized thermoelastic model is adopted for the analysis of thermal wave propagation into the medium. Helmholtz decomposition technique is considered and it is presumed that the layer and half-space are bonded perfectly to each other. A discretised form of numerical computations are performed to analyze nature of the various field functions of the wave.
