Abstract
This article deals with the problem of reflection and transmission of shear waves at a plane interface between two dissimilar incompressible transversely isotropic thermoelastic half-spaces. Two coupled quasi-shear waves are found to propagate due to the incompressibility of such materials. Applying appropriate boundary conditions at the plane interface, amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted quasi-shear waves are obtained. It has been observed that these ratios are functions of the angle of incidence, elastic and thermal parameters of the materials. These ratios are computed numerically for a particular model to see the effects of specific heat and thermal expansion on quasi-shear waves in incompressible transversely isotropic thermoelastic materials. The results are also presented graphically.
