Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general Christoffel equation is derived from the coupled constitutive and balance equations, which is further employed to solve the elastic displacements and electric and magnetic potentials. Based on these solutions, the reflection and transmission coefficients in the corresponding layered structures are subsequently obtained by virtue of the propagator matrix method. Two layered examples are selected to verify and illustrate our solutions. One is the purely elastic layered system composed of aluminum and organic glass materials. The other layered system is composed of the novel magnetoelectroelastic material and the organic glass. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with different incident angles, frequencies, and boundary conditions, which could be useful to nondestructive evaluation of this novel material structure based on wave propagations.

The reflection and transmission of a plane wave by a distribution of cavities in the interface of two solids of different mechanical properties are investigated. For the calculation of the reflection and transmission coefficients by a distribution of cavities, six auxiliary wave states are used in conjunction with the reciprocal identity. Specific results are presented for scattering by a doubly periodic array of cavities in the interface of solids of different elastic moduli and mass densities. For a typical cell, the boundary integral equations for scattering by a cavity at the interface of two solids are derived on the basis of continuity of displacements and tractions across the interface and by taking advantage of the geometrical periodicity. Solutions to the system of singular integral equations have been obtained by the boundary element method. Numerical results are presented as functions of the frequency for two angles of incidence.
