Effect of Interface Roughness on the Reflection Coefficient
نویسنده
چکیده
All surfaces and interfaces between dissimilar materials are rough. The extent to which this roughness affects the reflection of elastic waves has been the subject of study for many decades. A recent book by Ogilvy [1] provides a comprehensive review and summary of this subject. The problem is of particular interest in ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. For example, it has been shown that for typical inspection geometries, rough surfaces degrade the signal-to-noise ratio for scattering defects [2] [3].

A Mathematical model has been considered to study the reflection and refraction phenomenon of plane wave at the interface of an isotropic liquid medium and a triclinic (anisotropic) half-space. The incident plane qP wave generates three types of reflected waves namely quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH) waves in the tric...
