Abstract

The reflection and transmission of plane waves from a fluid-piezothermoelastic solid interface are studied. The expressions for amplitude ratios and energy ratios corresponding to reflected waves and transmitted waves are derived analytically. The piezothermoelastic solid half-space is assumed to have 6mm type symmetry and assumed to be loaded with water. The effects of angle of the incidence, the frequency, the specific heat, the relaxation time, and the thermal conductivity on the reflected and transmitted energy ratios are studied numerically for a particular model of cadmium selenide (CdSe) and water. Some special cases are also studied.
