The present paper deals with the propagation of body waves in a
homogenous isotropic, rotating, generalized thermoelastic solid. The
complex cubic secular equation has been solved by using Cardano's and
perturbation methods to obtain phase velocities, attenuations and specific
loss factors of three attenuating and dispersive waves, which are possible
to exist in such media. These wave characteristics have also been computed
numerically for magnesium crystal and are presented graphically.
Statistical analysis has been performed to compare the computer simulated
results obtained by using both methods. This work may find applications in
geophysics and gyroscopic sensors.
