A two-dimensional generalized thermoelastic model of the problem of reflection of P- and SV-waves on a half space of thermally conducting isotropic elastic material has been considered based on the Green–Lindsay theory. Ratios of reflection coefficients have been calculated for different cases and the results compared with the existing literature are presented in graphs.
