11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis

- Have been developed the polarization vector method for the case of complex Stroh matrix.

- Have been found the explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves in compressible or incompressible anisotropic elastic half-space (orthotropic and monoclinic materials with the symmetry plane x3=0) with impedance boundary conditions.

- Have been found the explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves in pre-stressed
 elastic half-space with impedance boundary conditions.

- Have been found  the explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves in rotating monoclinic crystals with the symmetry plane x3=0  with impedance boundary conditions, and the explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves in  rotating incompressible fibre-reinforced elastic  half-spaces  with impedance boundary conditions.

- Have been found the approximate secular equations of Rayleigh waves in compressible or incompressible anisotropic elastic half-spaces coated by a compressible or incompressible anisotropic elastic layer.

12. Practical applicability, if any: The obtained explicit secular equations are a powerful tool for non-destructively evaluating mechanical properties of structures before and during loading.

13. Further research directions, if any:

- Finding the explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves in the rotating elastic half-spaces coated by a thin layer.

- Finding the explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves in an elastic half-space contacting with another elastic half-space.
