Abstract.

The aim of the present investigation is to study the effects of magnetic field, relaxation times, and rotation on the propagation of surface waves with imperfect boundary. The propagation between an isotropic elastic layer of finite thickness and a homogenous isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay (GL) model is studied. The secular equation for surface waves in compact form is derived after developing the mathematical model. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are obtained for stiffness, and then deduced for normal stiffness, tangential stiffness and welded contact. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are computed analytically at the free plane boundary. Some special cases are illustrated and compared with previous results obtained by other authors. The effects of rotation, magnetic field, and relaxation times on the speed, attenuation coefficient, and the amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are displayed graphically.

1. Introduction

The foundations of magnetoelasticity were presented by Knopoff [1] and Chadwick [2] and developed by Kaliski and Petykiewicz [3]. An increasing attention is devoted to the interaction between magnetic field and strain field in a thermoelastic solid due to its many applications in the fields of geophysics, plasma physics, and related topics. All papers quoted above assumed that the interactions between the two fields take place by means of the Lorentz forces appearing in the equations of motion and by means of a term entering Ohm’s law and describing the electric field produced by the velocity of a material particle, moving in a magnetic field. The most ideal interface model, as it is known, is called perfect bond interface where the displacement and traction are continuous across the interface. However, interfaces are seldom perfect. Therefore, various imperfect models such as three-phase and linear models like spring models have been introduced by Yu et al. [4], Yu [5], and Benveniste [6]. Perhaps the most frequently studied imperfect interface model is the smooth bond interface, where the normal components of the displacements and traction are continuous across the interface, while the shear traction components are zero on the interface. Lord and Shulman [7] formulated a generalized theory of thermoelasticity with one thermal relaxation time, who obtained a wave equation by postulating a new law of heat conduction instead of classical Fourier’s law. Green and Lindsay [8] developed a temperature rate-dependent thermoelasticity that includes two thermal relaxation times and does not violate the classical Fourier’s law of heat conduction, when the body under consideration has a center of symmetry. Hetnarski and Ignaczak [9] introduced a review and presentation of generalized theories of thermoelasticity. Diffusion can be defined as the random walk of an assemble of particles from regions of high concentration to that of low concentration. Nowadays, there is a great deal of interest in the study of phenomena due to its applications in geophysics and electronic industry. In integrated circuit fabrication, diffusion is used to introduce “depants” in controlled amounts into semiconductor substance. In particular, diffusion is used to form the base and emitter in bipolar transistors, integrated resistors, and the source/drain in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors and polysilicon gates in MOS transistors. In most of the applications, the concentration is calculated using Fick’s law. This is simple law which does not take into consideration the mutual interaction between the introduced substance and the medium into which introduced. Study of the diffusion phenomenon is used to improve the conditions of oil extractions. These days’ oil companies are interested in the process of thermoelastic diffusion for more efficient extraction of oil from oil deposits. Until recently, thermodiffusion in solids, especially in metals, was considered as a quantity that is independent of body deformation. Practice, however, indicates that the process of thermodiffusion could have a very considerable influence on the deformation of the body. Thermodiffusion in elastic solid is due to the coupling of temperature, mass diffusion, and strain in addition to the exchange of heat and mass with the environment. Nowacki [10–13] developed the theory of thermoelastic diffusion by using coupled thermoelastic model. This implies infinite speed of propagation of thermoelastic waves. Olesiak and Pyryev [14] investigated the theory of thermoelastic diffusion and coupled quasistationary problems of thermal diffusion for an elastic layer. They studied the influence of cross effects arising from the coupling of the fields of temperature, mass diffusion, and strain due to which the thermal excitation results in additional mass concentration and generates additional fields of temperature. Sherief et al. [15] developed the generalized theory of thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time which allows finite speeds of propagation of waves.

Recently, Sherief and Saleh [16] investigated the problem of a thermoelastic half-space in the context of the theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time. Singh [17] discussed the reflection phenomena of waves from free surface of a thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time and with two relaxation times in [18]. Aouadi [19–21] investigated different problems in thermoelastic diffusion. Sharma and Walia [22, 23] discussed the effect of rotation on Rayleigh waves in the piezothermoelastic half-space. Kumar and Kansal [24] discussed the propagation of Rayleigh waves on free surface in transversely isotropic thermoelastic diffusion. Kumar and Kansal [25] derived the basic equations for generalized thermoelastic diffusion and discussed the Lamb waves. Dawn and Chakraborty [26] studied Rayleigh waves in Green-Lindsay’s model of generalized thermoelastic media. Kumar and Chawla [27] investigated the effect of rotation and stiffness on surface waves propagation in an elastic layer lying over a generalized thermodiffusive elastic half-space with imperfect boundary. New contributions on waves propagation in thermoelastic media have been discussed [28–32].

In this paper, linear model is adopted to represent the imperfectly bonded interface conditions. The linear model is simplified and idealized situation of imperfectly bonded interface, where the discontinuities in displacements at interfaces have a linear relationship with the interface stresses. Taking these applications into account, the surface waves propagation at imperfect boundary between an isotropic elastic layer and isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay theory is investigated. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficients of wave propagation have been computed from the secular equations. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, concentration, and specific loss are computed and depicted graphically to make clear the influence of magnetic field, rotation, stiffness, relaxation times, and diffusion on the phenomena and compare with the practical results.

3. Formulation of the Problem

As shown in Figure 1, we consider an isotropic elastic layer (Medium ) of thickness overlaying a homogeneous, isotropic, generalized thermodiffusive elastic half-space in rotating frame of reference (Medium ). The origin of the coordinate system is taken at any point on the horizontal surface and -axis in the direction of wave propagation and -axis taking vertically downward into half-space, so that all particles on a line parallel to -axis are equally displaced. Therefore, all the field quantities will be independent of -axis coordinate. The interface between isotropic elastic layer and thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation has been taken at an imperfect boundary. The displacement vector , temperature , concentration , and rotation for medium are taken as

and displacement vector for the layer (Medium ) is taken as

We define the dimensionless quantities

Upon introducing the quantities in (1)–(3), (8), and (14)–(16), after suppressing the primes, with the aid of (17) and (18), we obtain

For an isotropic elastic layer, we introduce potential functions and through the relations

Substituting from (22) into (20), we have

4. Solution of the Problem

To solve (19), (22), and (23), we assume the solution in the form

The system of (26) has a nontrivial solution if the determinant of the coefficient vanishes, which yield to the following polynomial characteristic equation:

The constants , , , and are given in Appendix A. The characteristic equation (28) is biquadratic in and hence possesses four roots, ; corresponding to four roots; there exist three types of quasilongitudinal waves and one quasitransverse wave. The formal expression for displacement, temperature, and concentration satisfying the radiation condition can be written as

Substituting the values of and from (25) in (23) and (24) and with the aid of (22), we obtain

The discontinuities in displacements have linear relations with stresses, continuity of normal, Maxwell’s electromagnetic stress tensor and tangential stress, vanishing of the gradient of temperature, and concentration at the interface between the isotropic elastic layer and isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space. Mathematically, these can be written as follows.

6. Derivation of the Secular Equations

Substituting the value of from (29)-(30) into (33)–(35), with the aid of (1), (10) and (13)-(14), after simplification we obtain

Hence, assume that so that exponent in the plane wave solutions in (25) becomes

This shows that is the propagation velocity and is the attenuation coefficient of the wave. Upon using the representation (37) in secular equation (36), the values of propagation speed and attenuation coefficient of wave propagation can be obtained.

8. Special Cases

Case (i). If we take , that is, in the absence of rotation effect, the frequency equation (36) will reduce to the frequency equation for an isotropic elastic layer and a homogenous isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space without rotation.

Case (ii). If we take ,  , , and and in the absence of diffusion effect, that is, , (36) will reduce to the frequency equation for Rayleigh wave

10. Specific Loss

The specific loss is the ratio of energy dissipated in taking a specimen through a stress cycle, to the elastic energy stored in the specimen when the strain is maximum. The specific loss is the most direct method of defining internal friction for a material. For a sinusoidal plane wave of small amplitude, Kolsky [35] shows that the specific loss equals times the absolute value of imaginary part of to the real part of ; that is,

The elastic constants for granite are given by Bullen [33]:

The concentration change, phase velocity and attenuation coefficient of wave propagation, displacement, stresses, temperature in the context of Green Lindsay (GL) theory of thermoelastic diffusion with variations of magnetic field, and rotation in 2D and 3D have been computed for various values of nondimensional wave number and calculated numerically and represented graphically in Figures 2–22.

Figure 2 displays the variation of concentration change with different values of rotation with respect to the wave number; it appears that the concentration change increases with an increasing of the wave number and if there is no rotation and small wave number takes larger values than in the presence of rotation and large values of the wave number. Figures 3 and 4 clear the phase velocity and attenuation coefficients variations with respect to the wave number with variation of the rotation; it is concluded that the phase velocity begins from 1.2 but the attenuation coefficient begins from zero if the wave number equals zero and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it is seen that they increase and decrease periodically with an increasing of the wave number and rotation that indicate the interruption of the phase velocity and attenuation coefficient with the largest values of the wave number and rotation that agree with the practical results. Figure 5 shows the variation of the displacement component with respect to the wave number with variation of the rotation; it is concluded that it takes various values for zeros value of the wave number and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it seems that it increases and decreases periodically with an increasing of the wave number and rotation.

Figures 6 and 7 make clear the variation of the stresses components with respect to the wave number with variation of the rotation; it appears that it begins from zero for zeros value of the wave number and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it is shown that it increases and decreases periodically with an increasing of the wave number and rotation. Figure 8 displays the variation of the temperature with various values of the wave number and rotation; one can see that it begins from zero for zeros wave number and tends to zero, decreases and increases tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; it is clear that the temperature decreases with increasing rotation values that physically indicates the negative influence of rotation on the temperature that takes into consideration engineering and structures. Also, it is seen that, in the absence of rotation, all values of the concentration change, phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, displacement, stresses components, and temperature take a smooth behavior comparing with the corresponding values in the presence of rotation that take harmonic behavior.

Figure 9 shows the variation of concentration change with various values of magnetic field with respect to the wave number; it appears that the concentration change increases with an increasing of the wave number and decreases and arrives to the unity if the wave number tends to infinity; if the magnetic field is absent, the concentration change smallest than the corresponding values for small values of the wave number and inverses to the largest values for the large values of the wave number. Figures 10 and 11 make obvious the phase velocity and attenuation coefficients variations with respect to the wave number with variation of the magnetic field; it is concluded that the phase velocity begins from 1.2 but the attenuation coefficient begins from zero if the wave number equals zero and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it appears that they increase and decrease periodically with an increasing of the wave number and magnetic field that indicate the interruption of the phase velocity and attenuation coefficient with the largest values of the wave number and magnetic field that agree with the practical results. From Figure 12, it is concluded that the displacement component takes various values for zeros value of the wave number and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it is shown that it increases and decreases with an increasing of the wave number and magnetic field.

Figures 13 and 14 display the variation of the normal and shear stresses with respect to the wave number with variation of the magnetic field; it appears that it begins from zero for zeros value of the wave number and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it is shown that the normal stress decreases and then increases arriving to zero with the large values of the wave number and magnetic field. It is seen that the shear stress increases and periodically decreases with the variation of the wave number and magnetic field and begins from zero at zeros value of the wave number and tends again to zero if the wave number tends to infinity. Figure 15 dispatches the variation of the temperature with various values of the wave number and magnetic field; we can show that it begins from zero for zeros wave number and tends to zero for infinity wave number and increases and decreases with variation of the wave number and magnetic field.

Totally, it is clear that the temperature decreases with increasing rotation values that physically indicates the negative influence of rotation on the temperature that takes into consideration engineering and structures.

Figures 16–22 display the 3D variation on the concentration change, phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, displacement, stresses components, and temperature, respectively, with respect to the wave number and -axis if and

It is obvious from Figure 16 that the concentration change decreases to arrive to zero with the increased values of the wave number; it increases and decreases to its minimum value and after that increases with an increasing of -axis. From Figures 17 and 18, it appears that the phase velocity begins from 1.2 but the attenuation coefficient begins from zero if the wave number equals zero and tends to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it appears that it increases and decreases periodically and arrives to zero with an increasing of -axis and the wave number. Figure 19 shows that the displacement decreases, increases periodically with the variation of the wave number, and tends to zero as the wave number tends to infinity. It appears that the displacement decreases and increases with the increased values of -axis.

From Figure 20, we concluded that the normal stress decreases and then increases arriving to zero as the wave number tends to zero and increases with the small values of -axis and after that decreases to tend to zero. Figure 21 shows that the shear stress component increases and decreases periodically with the variation of the wave number but increases and decreases with an increasing of -axis.

Finally, it appears that the temperature increases and decreases arrive to zero as the wave number tends to infinity but decreases with an increasing of the small -axis and after that increases.

12. Concluding Remarks

Surface waves at imperfect boundary between isotropic elastic layer of finite thickness and isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with magnetic field, stiffness, and rotation with two thermal relaxation times (GL) model are illustrated. The secular equation in compact form has been derived. The concentration change, phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, displacement, stresses, and temperature are displayed graphically. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are computed at the free plane boundary and presented graphically. Specific loss of energy is obtained and depicted graphically.

The analysis to be carried will be useful in the design and construction of rotating sensors, engineering, structures, and surface acoustic waves devices and the following remarks have been concluded.

(1)If there is no rotation, small wave number takes larger values than in the presence of rotation and large values of the wave number.(2)The phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, displacement, stresses components, and temperature begin from zero for zeros value of the wave number and tend to zero if the wave number tends to infinity; also, it is seen that they increase and decrease periodically with an increasing of the wave number and rotation and magnetic field.(3)The temperature decreases with increasing rotation values that physically indicates the negative influence of rotation on the temperature that takes into consideration engineering and structures and acoustic and rotating sensors.
