Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of rotation on the general three-dimensional model
of the equations of the generalized thermoelasticity for a homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space
solid. The problem is studied in the context of the Green-Naghdi theory of type II (without energy
dissipation). The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the expressions for the temperature,
thermal stress, strain and displacement. The distributions of variables considered are represented
graphically.

1. Introduction
The propagation of waves in thermoelastic materials has many applications in various fields of science and
technology, namely, atomic physics, industrial engineering, thermal power plants, submarine structures, pressure
vessel, aerospace, chemical pipe and metallurgy. Thermoelasticity theories, which admit a finite speed for ther-
mal signals, have received a lot of attention for the past four decades. In contrast to the conventional coupled
thermoelasticity theory based on a parabolic heat equation by Biot [1], which predicts an infinite speed of the
