Abstract
The governing equations of thermoelasticity of transversely isotropic solid with initial stresses are formulated at uniform temperature. These equations are solved analytically in two-dimensions to show the existence of three plane quasi waves, namely, Quasi-Longitudinal (QL), Thermal (T-mode) and Quasi-Transverse (QT) waves. Reflection from a thermally insulated stress free surface of an initial stressed transversely isotropic thermoelastic solid half-space is studied. A particular model is chosen for the numerical computations of the propagation speeds, attenuation coefficients and reflection coefficients. Effects of initial stress parameter and thermal disturbances are observed on speeds of propagation, attenuation coefficients and reflection coefficients.
