Abstract
The reflection and refraction of magneto-thermoelastic plane wave at the interface of water-aluminum-epoxy composite in Green and Lindsay’s theory under initial stress has been investigated. Numerical computations are performed for the developed amplitude ratios of P-, SV- and thermal magneto-thermoelastic waves. For the values of relevant physical constants of water-aluminum-epoxy composite, the system of developed equations is solved by the application of the MATLAB software at different angles of incidence and the numerical computations are put graphically.
