Propagation of waves in transversely isotropic micropolar generalized thermoelastic half space

Abstract

The propagation of waves in a transversely isotropic micropolar medium possessing thermoelastic properties based on Lord and Shulaman (L–S), Green and Lindsay (G–L) and Coupled thermoelasticity (C-T) theories are discussed. After developing the solution, the phase velocities and attenuation quality factor have been obtained. The expressions for amplitudes of stresses, displacements, microrotation and temperature distribution have been derived and computed numerically. The numerical results have been plotted graphically.
