Abstract

The problem of phase velocities and attenuations of plane body waves and its reflection from a stress-free surface has been investigated in the micropolar porous materials. The amplitude and energy ratios of reflected waves are obtained analytically. The effect of inertial coefficients in the propagation of plane body waves is computed numerically for a particular model.
