Abstract
The propagation of plane waves in a fibre-reinforced, anisotropic, generalized thermoelastic media is discussed. The governing equations in x–y plane are solved to obtain a cubic equation in phase velocity. Three coupled waves, namely quasi-P, quasi-SV and quasi-thermal waves are shown to exist. The propagation of Rayleigh waves in stress free thermally insulated and transversely isotropic fibre-reinforced thermoelastic solid half-space is also investigated. The frequency equation is obtained for these waves. The velocities of the plane waves are shown graphically with the angle of propagation. The numerical results are also compared to those without thermal disturbances and anisotropy parameters.
