Abstract

The aim of the present investigation is to study the effects of magnetic field, relaxation times, and rotation on the propagation of surface waves with imperfect boundary. The propagation between an isotropic elastic layer of finite thickness and a homogenous isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay (GL) model is studied. The secular equation for surface waves in compact form is derived after developing the mathematical model. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are obtained for stiffness, and then deduced for normal stiffness, tangential stiffness and welded contact. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are computed analytically at the free plane boundary. Some special cases are illustrated and compared with previous results obtained by other authors. The effects of rotation, magnetic field, and relaxation times on the speed, attenuation coefficient, and the amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are displayed graphically.

Highlights

  • The foundations of magnetoelasticity were presented by Knopoff [1] and Chadwick [2] and developed by Kaliski and Petykiewicz [3]

  • An increasing attention is devoted to the interaction between magnetic field and strain field in a thermoelastic solid due to its many applications in the fields of geophysics, plasma physics, and related topics

  • All papers quoted above assumed that the interactions between the two fields take place by means of the Lorentz forces appearing in the equations of motion and by means of a term entering Ohm’s law and describing the electric field produced by the velocity of a material particle, moving in a magnetic field

Summary

Introduction

The foundations of magnetoelasticity were presented by Knopoff [1] and Chadwick [2] and developed by Kaliski and Petykiewicz [3]. Olesiak and Pyryev [14] investigated the theory of thermoelastic diffusion and coupled quasistationary problems of thermal diffusion for an elastic layer They studied the influence of cross effects arising from the coupling of the fields of temperature, mass diffusion, and strain due to which the thermal excitation results in additional mass concentration and generates additional fields of temperature. The linear model is simplified and idealized situation of imperfectly bonded interface, where the discontinuities in displacements at interfaces have a linear relationship with the interface stresses Taking these applications into account, the surface waves propagation at imperfect boundary between an isotropic elastic layer and isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay theory is investigated. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, concentration, and specific loss are computed and depicted graphically to make clear the influence of magnetic field, rotation, stiffness, relaxation times, and diffusion on the phenomena and compare with the practical results
