Abstract: This study is concerned to check the validity of a five parameter viscoelastic model for longitudinal wave propagating in the non-homogeneous viscoelastic rods. In this study, it is assumed that density (ρ), rigidity (G) and viscosity (η) of the specimen, i.e., rod are space dependent and obey the laws . The method of non-linear partial differential equation (Eikonal equation) has been used for finding the dispersion equation of longitudinal waves.
