ANALYSIS OF ROTATION, ANISOTROPY, AND RELAXATION TIMES ON REFLECTION WAVES IN MAGNETO-ELECTRO-THERMOELASTIC HALF-SPACE
ABSTRACT
The problem of reflection of electro-magneto-thermoelastic quasi SV-wave in a rotating transversely isotropic solid half-space is investigated with the help of Lord and Shulman's generalized theory of thermoelasticity. The velocity equation is obtained by solving the governing equations of a rotating transversely isotropic electro-magneto-thermoelastic medium. After solving the basic equations, we have obtained the reflection coefficients for quasi P-wave, quasi thermal wave, and quasi SV-wave. With the use of practical values of electric parameter, magnetic parameter, rotational parameter, and thermal coupling parameters, various curves are plotted to show the effect of temperature, anisotropy, rotation, thermal, electric, and magnetic fields on the reflection of incident quasi SV-wave on the solid half-space. Some special and particular cases are also deduced which are in agreement with results given by an earlier researcher.
