Reflection of plane waves from rotating pyroelectric half‐space under initial stresses

Abstract

This paper addresses the initial stresses and rotation effects on the wave reflection in the pyroelectric half‐plane using inhomogeneous wave approach. The rotation in the governing pyroelectric equation is characterized by considering the Coriolis and centrifugal accelerations, and the initial stresses are included by modifying the elasticity tensor. A scenario is modelled where a quasi‐longtitudinal wave is incident on free boundary surface, resulting into reflected waves like temperature wave, quasi‐transverse wave, quasi‐longitudianal wave, and surface wave. Attenuation angle, initial stresses, and rotation's impacts on the velocity, attenuation, and energy coefficients of reflected wave are presented.
