Abstract.

The reflection of plane waves at the free surface of thermally conducting micropolar elastic medium with two temperatures is studied. The theory of thermoelasticity with and without energy dissipation is used to investigate the problem. The expressions for amplitudes ratios of reflected waves at different angles of incident wave are obtained. Dissipation of energy and two-temperature effects on these amplitude ratios with angle of incidence are depicted graphically. Some special and particular cases are also deduced.

1. Introduction

The theory of micropolar elasticity was introduced and developed by Eringen [1]. The theory of micropolar continuum mechanics gives consideration to the microstructure. Micropolar theory is useful in structure materials with a fibrous, lattice, or granular micropolar structure. The main difference of micropolar elastic material from the classical elastic material is that each point has extra rotational degrees of freedom independent of translation and the material can transmit couple stress as well as usual force stress.

The linear theory of micropolar thermoelasticity has been developed by extending the theory of micropolar continua to include thermal effect and comprehensive review work on the subject was given by Eringen [2, 3] and Nowacki [4]. Dost and Taborrok [5] presented the generalized thermoelasticity by using Green and Lindsay theory. Chandrasekharaiah [6] developed a heat flux dependent micropolar thermoelasticity. Boschi and Iesan [7] presented a generalized theory of micropolar thermoelasticity that permits the transmission of heat as thermal waves at finite speed.

The main difference of thermoelasticity with two temperatures with respect to the classical one is the thermal dependence. Chen et al. [8, 9] have formulated a theory of heat conduction in deformable bodies, which depends on two distinct temperatures, the conductive temperature and thermodynamic temperature . For time independent situations, the difference between these two temperatures is proportional to the heat supply. For time dependent problems in wave propagation the two temperatures are in general different. The two temperatures , and the strain are found to have representation in the form of a travelling wave pulse, a response which occurs instantaneously throughout the body (Boley and Tolins [10]). The wave propagation in the two-temperature theory of thermoelasticity was investigated by Warren and Chen [11].

Youssef [12] constructed the new theory of generalized thermoelasticity by taking into account the theory of heat conduction in deformable bodies, which depends on two distinct temperatures, the conductive temperature and the thermodynamic temperature, where the difference between these two temperatures is proportional to the heat supply and proves the uniqueness theorem. Youssef and Bassiouny [13] solved the boundary value problem of one dimension in two-temperature generalized thermopiezoelastic half space, subjected to the thermal shock by using state space approach. Bassiouny and Youssef [14] investigated the boundary value problem of one-dimensional finite piezoelastic road with loading on its boundary with different types of loading in two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity. Ezzat and Bary [15] adopted the state space approach to obtain the solution of one-dimensional problems for any set of boundary conditions in magnetothermoelastic medium with two temperatures.Mukhopadhyay and Kumar (2009) investigated the thermoelastic interactions in an infinite medium with a cylindrical cavity in the context of a theory of generalized thermoelasticity in which theory of heat conduction in deformable bodies depends on two different temperatures—conductive temperature and dynamic temperature. Kumar et al. [16] established the variational and reciprocal principles in the context of linear theory of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity, for a homogeneous and isotropic body. Ezzat and Awad [17] proved uniqueness theorem and thermal shock problem in micropolar thermoelastic medium with two temperatures. Kumar and Mukhopadhyay [18] investigated the plane wave propagation under two-temperature thermoelastic medium. Kaushal et al. [19] studied propagation of waves in generalized thermoelastic continua with two temperatures.

Kaushal et al. [20] discussed wave propagation in temperature rate dependent thermoelasticity with two temperatures. Shaw and Mukhopadhyay [21] derived the variational principle and reciprocity theorem in generalized micropolar thermoelasticity with two temperatures by using fractional calculus. Youssef [22] proved the uniqueness theorem in the theory of Thermoelastic with two temperatures and without energy dissipation. El-Karamany [23] proved the reciprocal theorem and convolutional variational principle in a inhomogeneous micropolar thermoviscoelastic solid with two temperatures. El-Karamany and Ezzat [24] proved the uniqueness and reciprocal theorems in a linear anisotropic and inhomogeneous thermoelastic centrosymmetric solid in the two-temperature Green-Naghdi theories of type three. Mukhopadhyay et al. [25] proved the uniqueness and reciprocal theorem in the theory of two-temperature thermoelasticity with two-phase lags. Ezzat et al. [26] constructed the new mathematical model of two-temperature magnetothermoelasticity in which the fractional order dual-phase-lag heat conduction law is considered. Singh and Bala [27] studied the propagation of plane waves in an isotropic generalized thermoelastic solid half space with two temperatures. Ezzat et al. [26] introduced both modified Ohm's and Fourier's laws to solve the equations of the linear theory of magneto-thermo-viscoelasticity involving two-temperature theory, allowing the second sound effects. Youssef [28] derived the variational principal theorem for a homogeneous isotropic body in the theory of two temperatures without energy dissipation. Banik and Kanoria [29] investigated thermoelastic interaction in a piezoelastic half-space body in which the boundary is stress-free and subjected to thermal loading in the context of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity.

Ezzat and Othman [30] studied the plane wave propagation in Electromagneto thermoelastic with two relaxation time in a medium of perfect conductivity by using normal mode analysis. Ezzat et al. [31] investigated the plane wave propagation in Electromagneto thermoelastic with thermal relaxation time by using normal mode analysis. Othman [32] investigated the effect of rotation on plane wave propagation in the context of generalized theory of thermoelasticity with two relaxation times and obtained the expressions for the temperature distribution, the displacement components, and thermal stress by using normal mode analysis. Two-dimensional coupled problem in electromagneto-thermoelasticity for thermally and electrically conducting half space solid by using normal mode analysis was investigated by He and Li [33]. Othman et al. [34] studied the effect of rotation on plane wave propagation in the context of Green’s Naghdi theory type II by using the normal mode analysis. Ezzat and Awad [35] adopted the normal mode analysis technique to obtain the temperature gradient, displacement, stress, couple stresses, microrotation, electric field, magnetic field, and current density in micropolar generalized magnetothermoelasticity by using modified Ohm’s and Fourier’s law. Othman et al. [36] studied the effect of diffusion on two-dimensional problem of generalized thermoelasticity with Green-Naghdi theory and obtained the expressions for displacement components, stresses, temperature fields, concentration, and chemical potential by using normal mode analysis. Othman et al. [37] used normal mode technique to obtain the expressions for displacement components, force stresses, temperature, couple stresses, and microstress distribution in a thermomicrostretch elastic medium with temperature dependent properties for different theories. Othman and Lotfy [38] studied the plane wave propagation in microstretch thermoelastic half space by using normal mode analysis. Kumar et al. [39] investigated the disturbance due to force in normal and tangential direction by using normal mode analysis in fluid saturated porous medium. Kumar et al. [40] investigated the effect of viscosity on plane wave propagation in heat conducting transversely isotropic micropolar viscoelastic half space.

To study the propagation of thermal waves at finite speed, it may be possible in the foreseeable future to identify an idealized material. Green and Naghdi [41–43] have made relevant theoretical development in the theory of thermoelasticity and provided sufficient basic modifications in the constitutive equations that allow treatment of wider class of heat flow problems, labeled as types I, II, and III. When the respective theories are linearized, type I is similar to classical heat equation, whereas the linearized version of type II and type III theories allows propagation of thermal waves at finite speed. In type II and type III (i.e, thermoelasticity without energy dissipation and thermoelasticity with energy dissipation) the entropy flux vector is determined in terms of potential that also determines stresses. The temperature equation reduces to classical Fourier law of heat conduction when Fourier conductivity is dominant, and when the effect of conductivity is negligible, the equation has undamped thermal wave solutions without energy dissipation.

Various investigators have studied the different problems using GN type II and type III theories. Mukhopadhyay and Kumar [44] investigated interactions in an infinite medium with a cylindrical hole in generalized thermoelasticity. Mohamad et al. [45] studied Electromagneto thermoelastic problem in a thick plate using Green and Naghdi theory. Chitra and Ciarletta [46] studied harmonic vibrations in linear thermoelasticity without energy dissipation. Chitra and Ciarletta [47] proved several results in uniqueness and continuous dependence in thermoelasticity of type III. Passarella and Zampoli [48] proved reciprocal and variational principles in micropolar thermoelasticity of type II.

In the present investigation, we study the reflection of plane waves, that is, longitudinal displacement wave (LD wave), thermal wave (T-wave), and transverse wave coupled with microrotational wave (CD-I wave and CD-II wave) at the free surface of thermally conducting micropolar elastic medium with two temperatures with and without energy dissipation. Energy dissipation and two-temperature effects are depicted numerically and depicted graphically on the amplitude ratios for incidence of various plane waves for a particular model.

7. Conclusion

In the present paper, the expressions for reflection coefficients of various reflected waves have been derived in micropolar thermoelastic solid half space in the context of GN type II and GN type III theories. It is observed that when LD-wave is incident, the values of amplitude ratios for TS remain more than the value for ATS; that is, two-temperature effect increases the magnitude of amplitude ratios. Also when T-wave is incident, the values of amplitude ratios follow oscillatory pattern and the values for KTS and AKTS attain peak value near the grazing incidence. The values of amplitude ratio ,, for TS in comparison with KTS remain greater which reveals the effect of energy dissipation (CD-I wave incident). The problem is of geophysical interest and the results are supposed to be useful in theoretical and observational studies of wave propagation in more realistic models of micropolar solids present in the earth’s interior.
