Abstract

Based on micropolar fluid theory and micropolar solid elasticity theory, reflection and transmission characteristics of longitudinal displacement wave and two coupled waves are studied when incident longitudinal displacement plane wave propagates through micropolar fluid interlayer in micropolar solid. Theoretical and numerical analytical results reveal that in general the amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are functions of the incidence angle, the frequency of the incident wave and the material properties of the medium. At normal incidence, the reflection and transmission of only longitudinal waves take place and no coupled transverse wave is found to reflect or transmit. At grazing incidence, no reflection or transmission phenomena take place and the same wave propagates along the interface. The change rules of the amplitudes varied with incident angle are also discussed.
