Reflection and transmission of plane waves at an imperfect interface between two dissimilar monoclinic elastic half-spaces

Abstract

In this paper, a problem on reflection and transmission of plane waves atan imperfect interface between two dissimilar monoclinic elastic half-spaces isstudied. The boundary conditions at imperfect interface are satisfied by appropriateparticular solutions in the half-spaces to obtain a non-homogeneoussystem of four equations in amplitude ratios of reflected and transmittedwaves. The amplitude ratios of reflected and transmitted waves are computedand shown graphically for different kinds of boundaries.
