Abstract
The reflection and refraction phenomenon of propagation of waves in couple stress micropolar thermoviscous elastic solid media with independent viscoelastic and micropolar properties have been studied. The structure of the model has been taken such that the plane interface is divides the given media into two half spaces in perfect contact. Here, we find that there are five waves, one of them is propagating independently while others are set of two coupled waves travelling with different speeds. Energy ratios, reflection and refraction coefficients relative to numerous reflected and refracted waves have been investigated when set of two coupled longitudinal waves and set of two coupled transverse waves strike at the interface through the solid medium. The inequality of energy ratios, refraction coefficients and reflection coefficients are evaluated numerically and presented graphically under three theories of thermoelasticity, namely, Green-Lindsay theory (GL), Lord-Shulman theory (LS), Coupled theory (CT) versus angular frequency and angle of incidence.
