Propagation of plane waves in a rotating magneto-thermoelastic fiber-reinforced medium under G-N theory

摘要

The article is concernedwith the possibility of plane wave propagation in a rotating elastic medium under the actionof magnetic and thermal fields. The material is assumed to be fibre-reinforced with increased stiffness, strengthand load bearing capacity. Green and Nagdhi’s concepts of generalized thermoelastic models II and III have beenfollowed in the governing equations expressed in tensor notation. The effects of various parameters of the appliedfields on the plane wave velocity have been shown graphically.
