REFLECTION OF TRANSVERSE AND MICROROTATIONAL WAVES FROM FREE SURFACE IN MICROPOLAR THERMODIFFUSION ELASTIC HALF-SPACE

摘要

The problem of reflection of plane waves in a micropolar thermodiffusion elastic is investigated in the context of the coupled theory. The amplitude ratios of various reflected waves are continuous functions of the angle of incidence and material parameters of the medium. A graphical representation of amplitude ratios is presented and the impact of micropolarity and diffusion property of the medium is observed to be significant. Some special cases of interest are deduced from the present article.
