Reflection of magneto-thermo-elastic waves from a rotating elastic half-space

Models of generalized magneto-thermo-elasticity based on the Lord-Shulman theory (LS) with one relaxation time, the Green-Lindsay theory (GL) with two relaxation times, as well as the classical dynamic coupled theory (CD), are used to study the electro-magneto-thermo-elastic interactions in a semi-infinite perfectly conducting solid. The elastic medium rotates with uniform angular velocity. The initial magnetic field is parallel to the boundary of the half-space. Reflection of magneto-thermo-elastic waves under generalized thermo-elasticity theory is studied. The reflection coefficients are obtained. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
