Abstract The governing equations for two-dimensional homogeneous, isotropic generalized thermoelastic half-space with voids are solved in context of Lord–Shulman theory. Three compressional waves and a shear vertical (SV) wave are shown to exist. The reflection phenomena of compressional or shear wave from the free surface of a thermoelastic solid with voids is considered. The boundary conditions at stress-free thermally insulated surface are satisfied to obtain a system of four equations in the reflection coefficients of various reflected waves. These reflection coefficients depend on the angle of incidence of striking wave, void, thermo-void and other elastic parameters. Numerical values of the complex modulus of the reflection coefficients are also visualized graphically to observe the effects of void parameters. Ó 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Theory of linear elastic materials with voids is an important generalization of the classical theory of elasticity. This theory is used for investigating various types of geological and biological materials for which classical theory of elasticity is not adequate. The theory of linear elastic materials with voids deals the materials with a distribution of small pores or voids, where the volume of void is included among the kinematics variables. This theory reduces to the classical theory in the limiting case of volume of void tending to zero. Nonlinear theory of elastic materials with voids was developed by Nunziato and Cowin [20]. Cowin and Nunziato [8] developed a theory of linear elastic materials with voids to study mathematically the mechanical behavior of porous solids. Puri and Cowin [22] studied the behaviour of plane waves in a linear elastic materials with voids. Iesan [15] developed linear theory of thermoelastic material with voids. Ciarletta and Scalia [5] developed the nonlinear theory of non-simple thermoelastic materials with voids. Ciarletta and Scarpetta [6] studied some results on thermoelasticity for dielectric materials with voids. Dhaliwal and Wang [11] developed a heat flux dependent theory of thermoelasticity with voids.

influence results in thermoelastic bodies with voids. Chirita and Scalia [4] studied the spatial and temporal behavior in linear thermoelasticity of materials with voids. Pompei and Scalia [21] studied the asymptotic spatial behavior in linear thermoelasticity of materials with voids. In the classical theory of thermoelasticity, when an elastic solid is subjected to a thermal disturbance, the effect is felt at a location far from the source, instantaneously. This implies that the thermal wave propagates with infinite speed, a physically impossible result. In contrast to conventional thermoelasticity, non-classical theories came into existence during the last part of 20th century. These theories, referred to as generalized thermoelasticity, were introduced in the literature in an attempt to eliminate the shortcomings of the classical dynamical thermoelasticity. For example, Lord and Shulman [17], by incorporating a flux-rate term into Fourier’s law of heat conduction, formulated a generalized theory which involves a hyperbolic heat transport equation admitting finite speed for thermal signals. Green and Lindsay [13], by including temperature rate among the constitutive variables, developed a temperature-rate-dependent thermoelasticity that does not violate the classical Fourier law of heat conduction, when body under consideration has center of symmetry and this theory also predicts a finite speed for heat propagation. Chandrasekharaiah [3] referred to this wavelike thermal disturbance as ‘‘second sound’’. The Lord and Shulman theory of generalized thermoelasticity was further extended by Dhaliwal and Sherief [10] to include the anisotropic case. A survey article of representative theories in the range of generalized thermoelasticity is due to Hetnarski and Ignaczak [14]. A theory of thermoelastic materials with voids and without energy dissipation is discussed by Cicco and Diaco [7]. Sinha and Sinha [25] and Sinha and Elsibai [26,27] studied the reflection of thermoelastic waves from the free surface of a solid half-space and at the interface between two semi-infinite media in welded contact, in the context of generalized thermoelasticity. Abd-Alla and Al-Dawy [1] studied the reflection phenomena of SV waves in a generalized thermoelastic medium. Sharma et al. [23] investigated the problem of thermoelastic wave reflection from the insulated and isothermal stress-free as well as rigidly fixed boundaries of a solid half-space in the context of different theories of generalized thermoelasticity. Singh [24] discussed the reflection of plane waves from a stress-free surface of an elastic solid with thermodiffusion. The present investigation is motivated by the well-established theories given by Lord and Shulman [17] and Iesan [15]. The paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, the governing equations for homogeneous isotropic generalized thermoelastic solid with voids are obtained. From these equations, a serious error in Eq. (3) of Kumar and Rani [16] is detected for L–S case. The governing equations are then solved for x–z plane to show the existence of a shear and three compressional waves. In Section 3, the boundary conditions at stress-free thermally insulated surface are satisfied to obtain a system of four non-homogeneous equations in reflection coefficients for the incidence of compressional or shear wave at a thermally insulated free surface. A numerical example is given in last section to discuss and visualize the dependence of reflection coefficients upon angle of incidence of striking wave and effects of void parameters on these coefficients and other material parameters. 2.

The squared velocities C1, C2 and C3 are dominated by displacement, volume fraction and temperature fields, respectively, and show the existence of three compressional waves. Let us name these waves as P1, P2 and P3, respectively, for displacement, temperature displacement and volume fraction fields. When we solve Eq. (22) by using a computer program, it is also observed that P1 wave is fastest wave whereas P3 is slowest wave. If we neglect void effects, i.e. for m ¼ 0; b ¼ 0; a ¼ 0; 1 ¼ 0; n ¼ 0; c23 ¼ 0; c3 2 ¼ 0, the cubic equation (22) reduces to a quadratic equation whose roots are as 2v2 ¼ d 1

Reflection coefficients In the previous section, it has been discussed that there exists a shear and three compressional waves in an isotropic generalized thermoelastic material with voids. Any incident wave at the interface between two elastic solid bodies, in general, produce compressional and distortional waves in both media (see for example, Ewing et al. [12]; Ben-Menahem and Singh [2]). Let us consider an incident P1 or SV wave (Fig. 1). The boundary conditions at the free surface z ¼ 0 are satisfied, if the incident plane wave (P1 or SV) gives rise to a reflected SV and three reflected compressional waves (i.e. P1, P2 and P3 waves). The surface z ¼ 0 is assumed to be traction free and thermally insulated so that there is no variation of temperature and volume fraction on it. Therefore, the boundary conditions on z ¼ 0 are written as rzz ¼ 0;

Angle of incidence Fig. 9. The dependence of reflected P3 wave on the angle of incidence of SV wave.

The solid curve in these figures represent the variations of reflection coefficients with voids, whereas the dotted curves represent the variations without voids. All of these reflection coefficients are dependent on the angle of incidence. Figs. 2–5 are plotted for the range 0 < h0 6 90, where as Figs. 6–9 are plotted for the range 0 < h0 6 45. For incident P1 wave, the effect of voids on reflected SV is observed smaller as compared to the effects of voids on reflected P1 and P2 waves. The reflected P3 wave shown in Fig. 5 is purely due to change in volume fraction field, which disappears in absence of voids. For incident SV wave, the critical angle is observed near h0 ¼ 14 . The reflected SV, P1 and P2 waves are affected due to voids. The reflected P3 wave shown in Fig. 9 is again due to change in volume fraction field and will not appear in the absence of voids. 5. Conclusions The correct governing equations of thermoelasticity with voids are derived in context of Lord–Shulman theory. These equations are solved to show the existence of three compressible and one shear wave for a two-dimensional model. One of the compressible wave; namely P3 is due to change in volume fraction field and is slowest wave. A problem of reflection from free surface is considered to obtain the reflection coefficients of various reflected waves. The numerical computations of these reflection coefficients show the effect of voids on various reflected waves.
