Reflection of plane waves in a rotating micropolar double porous thermoelastic medium with temperature dependent properties

Abstract

The objective of this empirical investigation is to explore the behavior of different waves reflected in a homogenous isotropic double porous structured micropolar thermoelastic medium with rotation and temperature-dependent characteristics. Three-phase-lag theory of thermoelasticity is adopted to acquire the governing equations of the model. Six coupled plane waves have been found to propagate across the medium at distinct velocities. Derivation for energy and amplitude ratios of reflected waves were carried out by employing appropriate boundary conditions. For different angles of incidence, the outcomes for energy partition were determined numerically and displayed graphically. It is found that amplitude ratios associated with various reflected waves are affected by angular velocity, temperature-dependent properties, micropolar parameter, and double porosity. Also, it has been discovered that throughout the reflection phenomena there is no dissipation of energy. Furthermore, this study concludes with a summary of the findings and subsequent observations. The current investigation has yielded inferences regarding specific cases that are of particular interest.
