Propagation of Thermoelastic Waves in Micropolar Mixture of Porous Media

The theory of coupled thermoelasticity for a micropolar mixture of porous media (Eringen AC, J Appl Phys 94:909, 2003) is generalized in the context of Lord and Shulman and Green and Lindsay theories of generalized thermoelasticity. The governing equations of generalized thermoelasticity of a micropolar mixture of porous media are solved to show the existence of three coupled longitudinal displacement waves, two coupled longitudinal microrotational waves, and six coupled transverse waves, which attenuate and are dispersive in nature.
