Reflection of plane waves from the surface of a piezothermoelastic fiber-reinforced composite half-space

This work focuses on the study of plane wave reflection at the surface of a piezothermoelastic fiber-reinforced composite (PTFRC) half-space. The classical dynamical coupled theory, Lord-Shulman theory and Green-Lindsay theory have been employed to examine the problem. The existence of four types of waves, viz. quasi-P(qP), quasi-SV (qSV), thermal(T-mode) and electroacoustic(EA) waves has been detected in the two-dimensional model of the PTFRC...
