Abstract
The effect of two relaxation times, following Green and Lindsay's theo ry, on the reflection of thermoelastic waves at a homogeneous, isotrop ic, and thermally conducting elastic solid half-space is studied. The results for the partition of the energy for various values of the angl e of incidence are presented and compared with that of Lord and Shulma n's theory to show the importance of the second relaxation time.
