✦ Synopsis

In the present paper, we study reflection of inclined incident plane waves from a free boundary of the half-space in which the material is described by constitutive equations valid for elastic solids with voids. Both the cases of the transverse and longitudinal incident waves are considered, and it is shown that only the transverse one can propagate in the solid without attenuation, after having been reflected from the free boundary surface. The reflection coefficient and the amplitude of the surface oscillations are expressed in explicit form. The general results are demonstrated for several hypothetical porous materials, and it is shown that the reflection coefficient and the vibration amplitude are typically less than in classical media without voids. However, for relatively large transverse wave speed and high porosity, free boundary oscillation can exceed the classical one.
