Effect of rotation on plane waves at the free surface of a fibre-reinforced thermoelastic half-space using the finite element method
The propagation of plane waves in fibre-reinforced, rotating thermoelastic half-space proposed by Lord-Shulman is discussed. The problem has been solved numerically using a finite element method. Numerical results for the temperature distribution, the displacement components and the thermal stress are given and illustrated graphically. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by the coupled theory and the theory of generalized ... Read more
