5.10  Reflection of Plane Elastic Waves.

Previous:  Example 5.9.4

    If a single transverse wave is incident on a free surface, it produces two waves as shown below.

 

With all the three waves we have

From traction free boundary conditions,

   and the equilibrium conditions we can show that

 

This concludes Chapter 5 (elastodynamics) and the course content for EGM 5611.
