Abstract
The present investigation is concerned with the reflection of micropol ar thermoelastic waves in a micropolar generalized thermoelastic solid half-space. The reflection coefficients of various reflected waves wi th the angle of incidence as well as with the thermoelastic coupling c oefficients for Green-Lindsay and Lord-Shulman theories have been obta ined. The variations of these reflection coefficients have been shown graphically for Green-Lindsay and Lord-Shulman theories. Special cases have been deduced. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
