Rotational and voids effect on the reflection of P waves from stress-free surface of an elastic half-space under magnetic field and initial stress without energy dissipation

The influence of rotation, magnetic field, voids and initial stress on the reflection of P waves in thermoelasticity without energy dissipation are studied. The basic governing equations for isotropic and homogeneous thermoelastic half-space with voids, rotation, are based on Green and Naghdi (GN) theory under the effect of initial stress, where there is an initial magnetic field parallel to the plane boundary of the half-space. The solution of the problem in xz-plane indicates the existence of four plane waves; P1;P2;P3 and P4 and an SV waves. The relevant boundary conditions at stress-free insulated surface are satisfied by appropriate solutions in the half-space to obtain the reflection coefficients for the incidence of P waves. The numerical values of the complex modulus of the reflection coefficients are visualized graphically to display the effect of the rotation, magnetic field, initial stress and voids parameters.
