In the paper, viscoelastic model of waterhammer in a single polymer pipeline is analysed. The theoretical background of viscoelastic behaviour of the structure is shown and the mathematical model of waterhammer in a polymer pipeline is presented. The main problems connected with applying the model are discussed. The main emphasis is on the question of parameter estimation. Important aspects of wave speed calibration are presented. Estimation of a second group of parameters - retardation time and creep compliance values - was analysed. Problems and questions connected with the number of parameters, methods of estimation, potential non-uniqueness of the solution and accuracy of obtained calculations were discussed.

Formulas for the speed of Rayleigh waves in orthotropic compressible elastic materials are obtained in explicit form by using the theory of cubic equations. Different formulas are obtained by using different forms of the (cubic) secular equation. Each formula is expressed as a continuous function of three dimensionless material parameters, which are the ratios of certain elastic constants. It is interesting to note that one of the formulas includes as a special case the formula obtained recently by Malischewsky for isotropic materials.
