I am focused on simulation of Rayleigh wave dissipiation while propagated in steel.
The first step, which is performing the simulation with purely elastic material , is accomplished. Now I would like to go further - go closer to real situation which is dispersion of the pulse in time as well as in frequency domain when going further from the source of the Rayleigh wave.

I think, that the only way how to simulate this situation is to use viscoelastic material model (either Kelvin-Voight or Maxwell ?).

Or is there any other solution how to capture the pulse dispersion?

Thank you very much for your answer.
