Correct procedure to study reflection in orthotropic thermoelastic medium: Inhomogeneous propagation of waves

作者：

Highlights：

• Almost all recent studies on reflection in anisotropic thermoelastic medium are found incorrect.

• Corrected procedure is presented for reflection of harmonic plane waves in orthotropic thermoelastic medium.

• Inhomogeneous incidence is considered through a complex slowness vector.

• Propagation characteristics of reflected waves are calculated for varying direction & inhomogeneity of incident wave.
