The objective of this paper is to investigate the surface waves in ¯ber-reinforced anisotropic elastic
medium subjected to magnetic and thermal ¯elds. We introduce the coupled theory (CD), Lord–
Shulman (LS) theory and Green–Lindsay (GL) theory to study the in°uence of magnetic ¯eld on
2D problem of a ¯ber-reinforced thermoelastic. The analytical expressions for displacement
components and force stress are obtained in the physical domain by using the harmonic vibrations.
The wave velocity equations have been obtained in di®erent cases. Numerical results for the
temperature, displacement, and thermal stress components are given and illustrated graphically in
the presence and absence of the magnetic ¯eld of the material medium. A comparison is also made
between the three theories in the case of presence and absence of ¯ber-reinforced parameters.
Keywords : Lord–Shulman; Green–Lindsay; ¯ber-reinforced; surface waves; thermoelastic; mag-
netic ¯eld.
1. Introduction
In the postwar years, we have seen a rapid devel-
opment of themoelasticity stimulated by various
engineering sciences. Most of the investigations were
done under the assumption of the temperature-in-
dependent material properties, which limited the
