The reflection coefficient is derived for an isotropic, homogeneous elastic layer of arbitrary thickness that is perfectly bonded to such an elastic half-space of a different material for the case when plane waves are incident from an inviscid fluid onto the layered solid. The derived function is studied analytically by considering several limiting cases of geometry and materials to recover previously known results. Approximate reflection coefficents are then derived using various plate models for the layer to obtain simpler expressions that are useful for small values of σd, where σ is the wave number and d is the layer thickness. Numerical results based on all the models for the propagation of interface waves localized near the fluid-solid boundary are obtained and compared. These results are also compared with some previously published experimental measurements.

Abstract The present article deals with the two parts: (i) The propagation of plane waves in a microstretch thermoelastic diffusion solid of infinite extent. (ii) The reflection and transmission of plane waves at a plane interface between inviscid fluid half-space and micropolar thermoelastic diffusion solid half-space. It is found that for two-dimensional model, there exist four coupled longitudinal waves, that is, longitudinal displacement wave (LD), thermal wave (T), mass diffusion wave (MD) and longitudinal microstretch wave (LM) and two coupled transverse waves namely (CD-I and CD-II waves). The phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, specific loss and penetration depth are computed numerically and depicted graphically. In the second part, it is noticed that the amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are functions of angle of incidence, frequency of incident wave and are influenced by the microstretch thermoelastic diffusion properties of the media. The expressions of amplitude ratios and energy ratios are obtained in closed form. The energy ratios have been computed numerically for a particular model. The variations of energy ratios with angle of incidence for thermoelastic diffusion media in the context of Lord-Shulman (L-S) [1] and Green-Lindsay (G-L) [2] theories are depicted graphically. Some particular cases are also deduced from the present investigation.

This paper develops the transition matrix formalism for scattering from an three-dimensional alluvium on an elastic half-space. Betti’s third identity is employed to establish orthogonality conditions among basis functions that are Lamb’s singular wave functions. The total displacements and associated tractions exterior and interior to the surface are expanded in a Rayleigh series. The boundary conditions are applied and the T-matrix is derived. A linear transformation is utilized to construct a set of orthogonal basis functions. The transformed T-matrix is related to the scattering matrix and it is shown that the scattering matrix is symmetric and unitary and that the T-matrix is symmetric. Typical numerical results obtained by incident plane waves for verification are presented.
