Abstract
Propagation of plane harmonic thermoelastic waves in a thin, flat, infinite homogeneous, transversely isotropic plate of finite width is studied, in the context of generalized theory of thermoelasticity. Green and Lindsay (GL) theory, in which, thermal and thermo-mechanical relaxations are governed by two different time constants, is selected for the study. The frequency equations corresponding to the symmetric and antisymmetric modes of vibration of the plate are obtained, and some limiting and special cases of the frequency equations are then discussed. The results have been verified numerically and are represented graphically.
