Initial Stress and Gravity on P-Wave Reflection from Electromagneto-Thermo-Microstretch Medium in the Context of Three-Phase Lag Model

Abstract

The present paper studied the reflection of thermo-microstretch waves under the generalized thermoelasticity theory which is employed to study the reflection of plane harmonic waves from a semi-infinite elastic solid under the effect of the electromagnetic field, initial stress, and gravity. The formulation is applied under the thermoelasticity theory with three-phase lag, and the reflection coefficient ratio variations with the angle of incidence under different conditions are obtained. Numerical results obtained from the present study are presented graphically and discussed. It is observed that the initial stress, gravitation, and electromagnetic field exert some influence in the thermo-microstretch medium due to reflection of P-waves.
