REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION COEFFICIENTS FOR PLANE LONGITUDINAL INCIDENT WAVES

O. Koefoed

Abstract

Abstract Tables are presented giving the two reflection coefficients and the two transmission coefficients resulting from the incidence of a plane longitudinal wave upon a plane boundary between two elastic media, for hundred different combinations of the elastic parameters and the density of the two media. The effect of these parameters upon the change of the reflection or transmission coefficient with the angle of incidence is discussed. For incidence beyond the critical angle the phase shift between the incident wave and the reflected or transmitted wave is also given.
