Cover Story: Determining how uniaxial waves behave in an initially undisturbed semi-infinite medium is a fundamental topic in linear viscoelasticity and is covered in most standard rheology textbooks. It also serves as an essential preliminary step in studying wave propagation in linear dispersive media with dissipative effects, such as seismic wave transmission within the Earth. View this paper
