Propagation phenomena in a visco-thermo-micropolar elastic medium under the effect of micro-temperature

Abstract

The analysis is made on reflection of waves in thermoelastic micropolar medium. The medium is having an additional property of viscosity, while studying waves the effect of micro-temperature is also been considered. It is found that after reflection three longitudinal and three transverse waves propagate through the medium. Reflected coefficients are calculated for each wave to examine deviation of reflected waves. Results obtained theoretically are shown graphically against angle of incidence. It is analyzed that effect of viscosity and micro-temperature reaches to its maximum level during intermediate values of angle of incident.
