Abstract
In the present note, we study the conditions for propagation of interface waves when one of the solids is a thermo-elastic halfspace and the other an elastic halfspace. The propagation of plane waves along the interface is studied and the frequency equation is derived. In view of the complicated form of this equation, two limiting cases corresponding to very high or very low frequencies are studied. It is also shown that when the coupling constant in the thermo-elastic solid is put equal to zero, the frequency equation reduces to the equation derived by Stoneley. As another particular case, the frequency equations corresponding to very high or very low wave lengths are obtained.
