Abstract

Abstract: An analysis has been carried out for reflection and transmission of a plane SH-wave incident at a corrugated interface between two anisotropic magnetoelastic half-spaces. Rayleigh's method of approximation is applied to derive the reflection and transmission coefficients for first order approximation of corrugation. The expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients for first order approximation of corrugation are obtained in closed form for a special type of interface. It is found that these coefficients are proportional to the amplitude of corrugation and are functions of magnetoelastic properties of materials of the half-spaces as well as the angle of incidence. Special cases are deduced for anisotropic and isotropic materials for particular case of corrugation. Numerical computations are performed for a specific model of two different anisotropic magnetoelastic media. The effects of anisotropic magnetoelastic coupling parameter, the angle at which wave crosses the magnetic field, frequency factor, wave length of corrugation, and the amplitude of corrugation are shown through figures.
