The governing equations of an initially stressed transversely isotropic dissipative solid half-space are solved for surface wave solutions. The appropriate solutions in the half-space are applied to the required boundary conditions at the free surface of the half-space. The frequency equation of the Rayleigh wave is derived. Frequency equation of the Rayleigh wave is also obtained in some limiting cases.
