Reflection of plane waves from a thermo-microstretch elastic solid under the effect of rotation
A reflection of a plane harmonic wave at the interface of thermo-microstretch elastic half space is studied. The formulation is applied to generalized thermo-elasticity theories, the Lord–Şhulman and Green–Lindsay theories, as well as the classical dynamical coupled theory. Using potential function, the governing equations reduce to ten differential equations. Coefficient ratios of reflection of different waves with the angle of incidence are obtained using continuous boundary conditions. By numerical calculations, the variation of coefficient ratios of reflection with the angle of incidence is illustrated graphically in magnesium crystal micropolar material under three theories. Also the effect of frequency and rotation on the coefficient ratios of reflection is illustrated graphically in the context of Lord–Shulman theory.
