Abstract—The influence of magnetoelastic interactions on the propagation of transverse elastic waves through
a ferromagnetic layer separating two elastic nonmagnetic half-spaces is investigated. Consideration is given to
a wide frequency range of elastic waves, which includes frequencies near the magnetoacoustic resonance of a
ferromagnetic plate. By solving a boundary-value problem, it is shown that near the magnetoacoustic resonance
frequency, the transmission and reflection coefficients of elastic waves in this layered structure can vary with
the magnetic field and the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer anywhere from 0 to 1 on neglecting wave atten-
uation.
