Propagation of Waves at an Interface between a Liquid Half-Space and an Orthotropic Micropolar Solid Half-Space

الملخص EN

An inviscid liquid half-space is considered in welded contact with a orthotropic micropolar solid half-space.

Appropriate plane harmonic solutions of equations governing a liquid half-space and an orthotropic solid half-space are obtained.

These solutions satisfy the required boundary conditions at the interface to obtain a system of four nonhomogeneous equations in amplitude ratios for incident quasi-longitudinal displacement wave.

The amplitude ratios of various reflected and refracted waves are computed numerically for a particular example of the present model.

The effect of anisotropy upon these amplitude ratios is shown graphically for a particular range of the angle of incidence.
