Abstract:

The present investigation analysis a problem of r­­­eflection and transmission at an interface of two micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media. The basic equations and constitutive relations for micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media for G-L theory are derived. The expressions for amplitude ratios corresponding to reflected and transmitted waves are derived analytically. The effect of angle of incidence, frequency, micropolarity, thermopiezoelectric interactions on the reflected and transmitted waves are studied numerically for a specific model. Some special cases of interest one are also deduced.

Reflection and transmission of waves from imperfect boundary between two heat conducting micropolar thermoelastic solids

The problem of reflection and transmission of plane waves at an imperfect boundary between two thermally conducting micropolar elastic solid half spaces with two temperature is investigated. Amplitude ratio of various reflected and transmitted waves are presented when a set of coupled longitudinal wave (LD-wave) and thermal wave (T-wave) and a set of coupled transverse wave and microrotation wa...

Reflection and Transmission at the Boundary of Two Couple Stress Generalized Thermoelastic Solids

In this paper the reflection and transmission at a plane interface between two different couple stress generalized thermoelastic solid half spaces in context of Loard-Shulman(LS)[1967] and Green-Lindsay(GL)[1972] theories in welded contact has been investigated. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained due to incidence of a set of coupled longitudinal waves and c...

Reflection and Transmission of Longitudinal Wave at Micropolar Viscoelastic Solid/Fluid Saturated Incompressible Porous Solid Interface

In this paper, the reflection and refraction of longitudinal wave from a plane surface separating a micropolar viscoelastic solid half space and a fluid saturated incompressible half space is studied. A longitudinal wave (P-wave) impinges obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios for various reflected and transmitted waves have been obtained. Then these amplitude ratios have been computed nu...

Reflection and Transmission of Elastic Waves at Viscous Liquid/micropolar Elastic Solid Interface

Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted elastic waves from a plane interface separating a viscous liquid half-space and a micropolar elastic solid halfspace, are obtained in two cases (i) when longitudinal wave propagating through the solid half-space is made incident at the interface and (ii) when “coupled-wave” propagating through the solid half-space is made incident at the int...

Reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves at a temporal boundary.

We consider propagation of an electromagnetic (EM) wave through a dynamic optical medium whose refractive index varies with time. Specifically, we focus on the reflection and transmission of EM waves from a temporal boundary and clarify the two different physical processes that contribute to them. One process is related to impedance mismatch, while the other results from temporal scaling relate...

THE EFFECT OF PURE SHEAR ON THE REFLECTION OF PLANE WAVES AT THE BOUNDARY OF AN ELASTIC HALF-SPACE

This paper is concerned with the effect of pure shear on the reflection from a plane boundary of infinitesimal plane waves propagating in a half-space of incompressible isotropic elastic material. For a special class of constitutive laws it is shown that an incident plane harmonic wave propagating in the considered plane gives rise to a surface wave in addition to a reflected wave (with angle o...
