Plane Waves in a Rotating Monoclinic Magnetothermoelastic Medium

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The governing equations for a rotating monoclinic magnetothermoelastic medium are formulated in the context of the Lord–Shulman theory and are solved to yield the velocity equation that points to the existence of three quasiplane waves. Some particular cases are obtained, i.e., waves in the absence of anisotropy, rotation, and thermal and magnetic fields. A procedure for computing the angles of reflection is carried out. A numerical example is considered to show the dependence of the speeds of various plane waves on the angle of incidence, angle of reflection, rotation rate, and magnetic field strength.
