Abstract

Reflection and refraction phenomenon pattern of elastic plane wave at the interface between anisotropic monoclinic elastic half-space and isotropic elastic half-spaces is studied. Closed-form expression for phase velocity is obtained. Reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained using the method of Cramer's rule in determinant form. Also, the energy ratios are calculated in terms of reflection and transmission coefficients. Numerical examples are considered to exhibit all the findings graphically. The energy conservation law is implemented at each angle of incidence to validate the numerical results, and it is found that energy ratios are in good agreement with the energy conservation law.
