Abstract

The problem of reflection and refraction of elastic waves for an incident transverse wave at a plane interface between two dissimilar half-spaces of thermo-elastic materials with voids has been investigated. Using the theory developed by Iesan (Acta Mech 60:67–89, 1986), the formulae corresponding to the amplitude and energy ratios of reflected and refracted elastic waves have been obtained. The results similar to Singh and Tomar (Mech Materials 39:932–940, 2007) are recovered from the present analysis. The amplitude and energy ratios are computed numerically for a particular model.
