We apply the thermoelastic equations with one relaxation time developed by Lord and Shulman (1967) to solve some elastic half-space problems. Laplace transform is used to find the general solution. Problems concerning the ramp-type increase in boundary temperature and stress are studied in detail. Explicit expressions for temperature and stress are obtained for small values of time, where second sound phenomena are of relevance. Numerical values of stress and temperature are calculated and displayed graphically.

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.

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.

The response of an elastic half space to a normal impulsive loading over one half and also over one quarter of its bounding surface is considered. By a simple superposition the solution is obtained for a half space loaded on a finite rectangular region. In each case the solution was found to be a superposition of plane waves directly under the load, plus waves emanating from bounding straight lines and the corners of the loaded region. The solution was found by Cagniard’s technique and by extending the real transformation of de Hoop to double Fourier integrals with singularities on the real axis of the transform variables. Velocities in the interior of the half space are given for arbitrary values of Poisson’s ratio in terms of single integrals and algebraic expressions.

The problem of incident plane waves at the interface of micropolar thermoelastic half-space with voids and micropolar elastic half-space with voids has been attempted. The amplitude and energy ratios of various reflected and refracted waves for the incident [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-waves are obtained with the help of appropriate boundary conditions at the interface. The effect of linear thermal expansion and microinertia on the amplitude and energy ratios due to the incident [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-waves are discussed. Numerically and analytically, these amplitude and energy ratios are computed to show the effect of linear thermal expansion and microinertia. It is observed that the effect of linear thermal expansion is less for incident [Formula: see text]-wave and the effect of microinertia is less for incident [Formula: see text]-wave.

In the present paper we consider the magneto-thermo-elastic wave produced by a thermal shock in a perfectly conducting elastic half-space. Here the Lord-Shulman theory of thermoelasticity [1] is used to account for the interaction between the elastic and thermal fields. The solution obtained in analytical form reduces to those of Kaliski and Nowacki [2] when the coupling between the temperature and strain fields and the relaxation time are neglected. The results also agree with those of Massalas and DaLamangas [3] in absence of the thermal relaxation time.
