Effect of Magnetic and Thermal Parameters on the Reflected Waves in Generalized Magneto Thermoelastic Materials

Abstract

The present paper is concerned with the problem of reflection of homogeneous plane waves from the free surface of a generalized magneto thermoelastic half-space. The phase speeds of corresponding to longitudinal, transverse and thermal waves are obtained and are independent of angle of propagation. The amplitude and energy ratios corresponding to the reflected waves are obtained theoretically and numerically with the help of boundary conditions. The effects of magnetic and thermal parameters on the reflected waves are examined. The results hold the conservation law of energy.
