Abstract The article is presented to enhance our knowledge about the propagation of Lamb waves in the layer of a viscoelastic transversely isotropic medium in the context of thermoelasticity with GN theory of type-II and III. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitudes of displacements and temperature distribution were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for cobalt and the dispersion curves, amplitudes of displacements and temperature distribution for symmetric and skew-symmetric wave modes are presented to evince the effect of anisotropy. Some particular cases are also deduced.

Abstract The present investigation deals with the propagation of circular crested Lamb waves in a homogeneous micropolar transversely isotropic medium. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitudes of displacements and microrotation are computed numerically for magnesium as a material and the dispersion curves, amplitudes of displacements and microrotation for symmetric and skew-symmetric wave modes are presented graphically to evince the effect of anisotropy. Some special cases of interest are also deduced.

AbstractThe present paper deals with the study of reflection waves in an initially stressed transversely isotropic medium, in the context of Green and Naghdi (GN) thermoelasticity theory type II and III. The components of displacement, stresses and temperature distributions are determined through the solution of the wave equation by imposing the appropriate boundary conditions. Numerically simulated results are plotted graphically with respect to frequency in order to show the effect of anisotropy.

Wave propagation in a transversely isotropic unbounded medium rotating about its axis of symmetry is studied. For propagation at high frequencies, effects of rotation are negligible but for a frequency which is much smaller than the frequency of rotation, there is a fast wave and two very slow waves. When the two frequencies are equal, the speed of a wave becomes unbounded.

The present study is concerned with the effect of rotation on the propagation of plane waves in a transversely isotropic medium in the context of thermoelasticity theory of GN theory of types II and III. After solving the governing equations, three waves propagating in the medium are obtained. The fastest among them is a quasilongitudinal wave. The slowest of them is a thermal wave. The remaining is called quasitransverse wave. The prefix “quasi” refers to their polarizations being nearly, but not exactly, parallel or perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The polarizations of these three waves are not mutually orthogonal. After imposing the appropriate boundary conditions, the amplitudes of reflection coefficients have been obtained. Numerically simulated results have been plotted graphically with respect to frequency to evince the effect of rotation and anisotropy.
