Study on reflected waves through visco-elastic solid rotating with fixed angular frequency

Abstract

The work is about the characteristics study of reflected waves through viscoelastic solid. The solid used has a nanostructure and is semiconductor in nature, with uniform angular frequency. The concept of nonlocal thermoelasticity is considered to study the disturbances propagating through the medium. The refined theory of the multiphase lag heat conduction model is used to encounter the heat disturbance that travels through the medium. We have also considered the concept of fractional order time derivative while analyzing the heat conduction model. Expressions for dispersion relation for the reflected medium are obtained. It is found that four coupled waves reflected into the medium and each wave is neither purely transverse nor dilatational. The analytical results obtained are computed graphically for a particular medium. Characteristics like velocity, attenuation coefficient, and specific heat loss are computed and represented graphically for the medium. In addition to semiconductor nanostructure devices, the findings might be useful in visco-elastic semiconductor nanostructures involved in geology and seismology studies.
