Abstract.The present investigation deals with the reflection and deformation in thermo-microstretch elastic solid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, at the boundary surface. The generalized theories of thermoelasticity developed by Lord and Shulman [#!1!#] and Green and Lindsay [#!2!#] have been used to investigate the problem. Thermal and magnetic effects on the amplitude ratios of various reflected waves with the angle of incidence have been depicted graphically. Fourier transform technique is used to study the deformation due to time harmonic distributed thermomechanical sources. Uniformly and linearly distributed sources have been taken to illustrate the utility of the apporach. The integral transform has been inverted by using a numerical technique to obtain the components of normal force stress, tangential couple stress, microstress, temperature distribution and induced magnetic field. The resulting quantities have been depicted graphically for different sources to depict the thermal and magnetic effects.
