Velocity and Energy Distribution at Corrugated Interface of Monoclinic Medium

This paper investigates how elastic waves reflect and transmit when a plane qSV-wave encounters a corrugated interface between two different monoclinic elastic half-spaces. The corrugations on the interface lead to the generation of both regular and irregular reflected and transmitted waves, each traveling at distinct phase velocities. The study aims to determine the velocities and energy ratios of these waves, which are affected by various factors including the angle of incidence, the elastic constants of the materials, the properties of the interface's corrugation, and the frequency parameter. To analyse the problem, we performed computations for a specific modelx, =dcos (px,), obtaining the velocities and energy ratios. The paper also discusses the influence of corrugation and the frequency parameter on these quantities.
