We study the wave properties at a fluid/porous‐medium interface by using newly derived closed‐form expressions for the reflection and transmission coefficients. We illustrate the usefulness of these relatively simple expressions by applying them to a water/porous‐medium interface (with open‐pore or sealed‐pore boundary conditions), where the porous medium consists of (1) a water‐saturated clay/silt layer, (2) a water‐saturated sand layer, (3) an air‐filled clay/silt layer, or (4) an air‐filled sand layer. We observe in the frequency range 5 Hz–20 kHz that the fast P‐wave and S‐wave velocities in the four porous materials are indistinguishable from the corresponding frequency‐independent ones calculated using Gassmann relations. Consequently, for these frequencies we would expect the reflection and transmission coefficients for the four water/porous‐medium interfaces to be similar to the ones for corresponding interfaces between water and effective elastic media (described by Gassmann wave velocities). This expectation is not fulfilled in the case of an interface between water and an air‐filled porous layer with open pores. A close examination of the expressions for the reflection and transmission coefficients shows that this unexpected result is because of the large density difference between water and air.

Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general Christoffel equation is derived from the coupled constitutive and balance equations, which is further employed to solve the elastic displacements and electric and magnetic potentials. Based on these solutions, the reflection and transmission coefficients in the corresponding layered structures are subsequently obtained by virtue of the propagator matrix method. Two layered examples are selected to verify and illustrate our solutions. One is the purely elastic layered system composed of aluminum and organic glass materials. The other layered system is composed of the novel magnetoelectroelastic material and the organic glass. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with different incident angles, frequencies, and boundary conditions, which could be useful to nondestructive evaluation of this novel material structure based on wave propagations.

A modified Nicholson – Ross – Weir method was used to determine complex parameters and dielectric permittivity of ceramic materials in the range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The measuring equipment is a meter of complex reflection and transmission coefficients, a waveguide measuring canal with a special measuring cell, consisting of two irregular waveguides and a waveguide chamber between them, which provides insignificant influence of higher-order modes. The dependences of the amplitude and phase of the reflection and transmission coefficients on frequency were obtained experimentally for fluoroplastic and three ceramic samples in the frequency range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The obtained S-parameters are processed according to an algorithm that includes their averaging based on the Fourier transform in order to obtain the values of the dielectric permittivity. Fluoroplastic was used as a reference material with a known dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of fluoroplastic has a stable value of 2.1 in the above mentioned frequency range. The dielectric constant of sample No. 1 varies from 3.6 to 2.5 at the boundaries of the range, sample No. 2 – from 3.7 to 2.1, sample No. 3 – from 2.9 to 1.5. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the literature data for other frequencies taking into account the limits set by the measurement uncertainty.
