Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of wave propagation in a microstretch elastic medium in the context of the Green–Naghdi (GN) theory. Moreover, the dissipation and the influence of gravity on reflected waves have also been investigated. In the present article, five reflected waves propagate into the medium for any incident wave. The problem is solved numerically, and the amplitude ratios are graphically represented allowing for a comparison between the simple GN theory and the case in which one considers the effect of gravity on waves.
