SH-Wave at a Plane Interface between Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Fibre-Reinforced Elastic Half-Spaces

Abstract

The problem of reflection and refraction of SH-waves at a plane interface between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous fibre-reinforced elastic half-spaces has been investigated. Amplitude and energy ratios corresponding to the reflected and refracted SH-waves are derived using appropriate boundary conditions. These ratios are computed numerically for a particular model and the results are depicted graphically.

A mathematical model of shear wave propagation in the incompressible transversely isotropic thermoelastic half-spaces

“…Lalawmpuia and Singh (2020) investigated the problem of the effect of initial stresses on the elastic waves in transversely isotropic thermoelastic materials. There are many interesting problems of waves and vibrations in open literatures as Achenbach (1976), Singh (2003), Singh and Tomar (2007b), , , Zorammuana and Singh (2015), Lianngenga and Singh (2019), Singh and Lalawmpuia (2019), Goyal et al (2020) and Lalvohbika and Singh (2020).…”

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

“…Thermoelastic plane waves in a rotating isotropic medium has been studied by Ahmad and Khan [3]. A number of discussion relating to fibre-reinforced materials were discussed by Belfield [4], Othman [20], Othman [21], Markham [18], Zorammuana [26].…”
