Reflection of plane waves in generalized thermoelastic half space under the action of uniform magnetic field (Q1653530)

Summary: The reflection of longitudinal displacement waves in a generalized thermoelastic half space under the action of uniform magnetic field is investigated. The magnetic field is applied in such a direction that the problem can be considered as a two-dimensional one. The discussion is based on the three theories of generalized thermoelasticity: Lord-Shulman (L-S), Green-Lindsay (G-L), and Green-Naghdi (G-N) with energy dissipation. We compute the possible wave velocities for different models. Amplitude ratios are presented. The effects of magnetic field on various subjects of interest are discussed and shown graphically.
