Propagation of waves in generalized thermoelastic continua with two temperature

The present investigation is concerned with the following two problems. (i) Reflection and transmission of thermoelastic waves between two thermoelastic/ thermoelastic solids with two temperatures at an imperfect interface. The amplitude ratios of different reflected and transmitted waves are obtained and deduced for normal force stiffness, transverse force stiffness, thermal contact conductance and perfect bonding. The variations of amplitude ratios with angle of incidence are shown graphically for the longitudinal wave (P-wave), thermal wave (T-wave) and SV-wave. (ii) Propagation of Rayleigh waves in a thermoelastic half-space with two temperature at the free surface. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are obtained and presented graphically to depict the effect of two temperatures. Some special cases of interest are deduced from the present investigation.
