Abstract
The problem of incident plane waves at the interface of micropolar thermoelastic half-space with voids and micropolar elastic half-space with voids has been attempted. The amplitude and energy ratios of various reflected and refracted waves for the incident P- and S-waves are obtained with the help of appropriate boundary conditions at the interface. The effect of linear thermal expansion and microinertia on the amplitude and energy ratios due to the incident P- and S-waves are discussed. Numerically and analytically, these amplitude and energy ratios are computed to show the effect of linear thermal expansion and microinertia. It is observed that the effect of linear thermal expansion is less for incident S-wave and the effect of microinertia is less for incident P-wave.
