Magneto-elastic SV-wave at the interface of pre-stressed surface with voids under rotation

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the behaviour of reflection of SV- wave at a free surface under the effects of magnetic field, initial stress, rotation and voids. When a SV- wave is incident on the free surface of an elastic half space, two damped P-waves and a SV-wave is reflected. Among of these waves, P-waves are only affected by magnetic field and rotation whereas SV-wave is influenced by rotation, initial stress and magnetic field. Numerical computations are performed for the developed amplitude ratios of P-, SV- and magneto-elastic waves. This study would be useful for magneto-elastic acoustic device field and further study about nature of seismic waves.
