Abstract
A proof is presented that the energy-transfer ratios of the various elastic-wave modes reflected and transmitted at a plane boundary between two media are symmetrical and equal to the product of the forward- and backward-reflection coefficients. This relationship is shown to hold for several types of lossless boundary conditions at a solid-solid interface.Keywords
