AbstractThe present study deals with the reflection of SV-waves at a free surface in the presence of magnetic field, initial stress, voids and gravity. When an SV-wave incident on the free surface of an elastic half space, two damped P-waves and an SV-wave are reflected. Among these waves, P-waves are only affected by magnetic fields whereas SV-waves are influenced by both, initial stress and magnetic fields. Effect of gravity is negligible whereas voids played a significant role. These observations can be helpful for seismology and earthquake sciences.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to study the behaviour of reflection of SV- wave at a free surface under the effects of magnetic field, initial stress, rotation and voids. When a SV- wave is incident on the free surface of an elastic half space, two damped P-waves and a SV-wave is reflected. Among of these waves, P-waves are only affected by magnetic field and rotation whereas SV-wave is influenced by rotation, initial stress and magnetic field. Numerical computations are performed for the developed amplitude ratios of P-, SV- and magneto-elastic waves. This study would be useful for magneto-elastic acoustic device field and further study about nature of seismic waves.
