Abstract

The problem of reflection and refraction phenomenon due to longitudinal and transverse waves incident obliquely at a plane interface between uniform elastic solid half-space and thermoelastic solid with three-phase-lag model half-space has been studied. In thermoelastic solid medium, potential functions are introduced to represent two longitudinal waves and one transverse wave. The amplitude ratios of various reflected and refracted waves to that of incident wave are derived. These amplitude ratios are further used to find the expressions of energy ratios of various reflected and refracted waves to that of incident wave. The graphical representation is given for these energy ratios for different directions of propagation. The law of conservation of energy at the interface is verified.
