The present investigation is concerned with the reflection and transmission of plane waves at an interface between two micropolar thermoelastic half-spaces with different micropolarity and thermoelastic properties. The three-phaselag theory of thermoelasticity developed by Roychoudhuri is used to study the phenomena mentioned. The reflection and transmission coefficients of a longitudinal displacement wave, thermal wave, and two coupled transverse displacement and microrotational waves are derived for different incident waves. The amplitude ratios for different reflected and transmitted waves vs. the angle of incidence are calculated numerically for various thermoelasticity models. Their graphical representations are given.
