Reflection and Transmission of Thermo-Viscoelastic Plane Waves at Liquid-Solid Interface

The present paper investigate the reflection and transmission characteristics of thermo-viscoelastic plane waves at liquid-solid interface. The liquid is chosen to be viscous and the solid half-space is homogeneous isotropic, thermally conducting viscoelastic. Classical (coupled) theory of linear thermo-viscoelasticity has been employed to investigate the characteristics of reflected and transmitted waves. Reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained for quasilongitudinal () wave. The numerical computations of reflection and transmission coefficients are carried out for watercopper structure with the help of Gauss-elimination by using MATLAB software and the results have been presented graphically.
