EFFECT OF TWO TEMPERATURES AND STIFFNESS ON WAVES PROPAGATING AT THE INTERFACE OF TWO MICROPOLAR THERMOELASTIC MEDIA

This paper is concerned with the effect of two temperatures and stiffness on wave propagation at the interface of two micropolar thermoelastic media on the basis of the thermoelasticity theory of type III (Green–Naghdi, or GN, model). The amplitude ratios of various refl ected and transmitted waves are obtained for an imperfect boundary. The effect of the normal force stiffness, transverse force stiffness, transverse couple stiffness, thermal conductivity, and two temperatures on these amplitude ratios is considered for the incidence of various plane waves. The variations of the amplitude ratios with the angle of incidence are shown graphically.
