The problem of plane waves propagation in the nematic elastomers has been investigated. The phase velocity corresponding to primary (P) and secondary waves (S) in the anisotropic nematic elastomers are complex and depend on their angles of propagation. The phase velocity and the attenuation coefficients for these waves are obtained analytically and numerically for a particular model. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
