The plane wave propagation in a homogeneous, monoclinic, generalized thermoelastic solid medium with thermal relaxations is studied. Three types of plane waves: quasi-P (qP), quasi-thermal and quasi-SV (qSV) waves, are shown to exist. The analytical expressions for their dimensional velocities of propagation are obtained. The velocities of these waves are found to depend on the angle of propagation. Angles of reflection for plane waves are found to be different from their angles of incidence. Numerical computations are carried out to show the variations of velocities of plane waves for different parameters. Effects of anisotropy, frequency and thermoelastic coupling coefficient on wave propagation are observed.
