Edge wave propagation in an Electro-Magneto-Thermoelastic homogeneous plate subjected to stress

Rajneesh Kakar and Shikha Kakar

Abstract

This paper introduces the combined effect of electric field, magnetic field and thermal field on edge wave propagating in a homogeneous isotropic prestressed plate of finite thickness and infinite length. The dispersion relation of edge wave has been obtained by using classical dynamical theory of thermoelasticity. The phase velocity has been computed and shown graphically for various initial stress parameter, electro-magneto parameter, electric parameter and thermoelastic coupling parameter.

Key Words
