This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave propagation is an important topic in engineering sciences, especially, in the field of solid mechanics. A description of wave propagation phenomena is given by Graff [98]: The effect of a sharply applied, localized disturbance in a medium soon transmits or 'spreads' to other parts of the medium. These effects are familiar to everyone, e.g., transmission of sound in air, the spreading of ripples on a pond of water, or the transmission of radio waves. From all wave types in nature, here, attention is focused only on waves in solids. Thus, solely mechanical disturbances in contrast to electro-magnetic or acoustic disturbances are considered. of waves - the compression wave similar to the In solids, there are two types pressure wave in fluids and, additionally, the shear wave. Due to continual reflec tions at boundaries and propagation of waves in bounded solids after some time a steady state is reached. Depending on the influence of the inertia terms, this state is governed by a static or dynamic equilibrium in frequency domain. However, if the rate of onset of the load is high compared to the time needed to reach this steady state, wave propagation phenomena have to be considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by the internationally renowned José M. Carcione, Wave Fields in Real Media: Wave Propagation in Anisotropic, Anelastic, Porous and Electromagnetic Media examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, starting with the introduction of relevant stress-strain relations. The combination of this relation and the equations of momentum conservation lead to the equation of motion. The differential formulation is written in terms of memory variables, and Biot's theory is used to describe wave propagation in porous media. For each rheology, a plane-wave analysis is performed in order to understand the physics of wave propagation. This book contains a review of the main direct numerical methods for solving the equation of motion in the time and space domains. The emphasis is on geophysical applications for seismic exploration, but researchers in the fields of earthquake seismology, rock acoustics, and material science - including many branches of acoustics of fluids and solids - may also find this text useful. New to this edition: This new edition presents the fundamentals of wave propagation in Anisotropic, Anelastic, Porous Media while also incorporating the latest research from the past 7 years, including that of the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the theory of waves propagation in a fluid-saturated porous medium (a Biot medium) and its application in Applied Geophysics. In particular, a derivation of absorbing boundary conditions in viscoelastic and poroelastic media is presented, which later is employed in the applications. The partial differential equations describing the propagation of waves in Biot media are solved using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Waves propagating in a Biot medium suffer attenuation and dispersion effects. In particular the fast compressional and shear waves are converted to slow diffusion-type waves at mesoscopic-scale heterogeneities (on the order of centimeters), effect usually occurring in the seismic range of frequencies. In some cases, a Biot medium presents a dense set of fractures oriented in preference directions. When the average distance between fractures is much smaller than the wavelengths of the travelling fast compressional and shear waves, the medium behaves as an effective viscoelastic and anisotropic medium at the macroscale. The book presents a procedure determine the coefficients of the effective medium employing a collection of time-harmonic compressibility and shear experiments, in the context of Numerical Rock Physics. Each experiment is associated with a boundary value problem, that is solved using the FEM. This approach offers an alternative to laboratory observations with the advantages that they are inexpensive, repeatable and essentially free from experimental errors. The different topics are followed by illustrative examples of application in Geophysical Exploration. In particular, the effects caused by mesoscopic-scale heterogeneities or the presence of aligned fractures are taking into account in the seismic wave propagation models at the macroscale. The numerical simulations of wave propagation are presented with sufficient detail as to be easily implemented assuming the knowledge of scientific programming techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave Fields in Real Media examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, where ideal means an elastic (lossless), isotropic and single-phase medium, and real means an anelastic, anisotropic and multi-phase medium. The analysis starts by introducing the relevant stress-strain relation. This relation and the equations of momentum conservation are combined to give the equation of motion. The differential formulation is written in terms of memory variables, and Biot's theory is used to describe wave propagation in porous media. For each rheology, a plane-wave analysis is performed in order to understand the physics of wave propagation. The book contains a review of the main direct numerical methods for solving the equation of motion in the time and space domains.

Download or read book Viscoelastic Waves in Layered Media written by Roger D. Borcherdt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a rigorous, self-contained exposition of the mathematical theory for wave propagation in layered media with arbitrary amounts of intrinsic absorption. The theory, previously not published in a book, provides solutions for fundamental wave-propagation problems in the general context of any media with a linear response, elastic or anelastic. It reveals physical characteristics for two-and three-dimensional anelastic body and surface waves, not predicted by commonly used models based on elasticity or one-dimensional anelasticity. It explains observed wave characteristics not explained by previous theories. This book may be used as a textbook for graduate-level courses and as a research reference in a variety of fields such as solid mechanics, seismology, civil and mechanical engineering, exploration geophysics, and acoustics. The theory and numerical results allow the classic subject of fundamental elastic wave propagation to be taught in the broader context of waves in any media with a linear response, without undue complications in the mathematics. They provide the basis to improve a variety of anelastic wave propagation models, including those for the Earth's interior, metal impurities, petroleum reserves, polymers, soils, and ocean acoustics. The numerical examples and problems sets facilitate understanding by emphasizing important aspects of the theory for each chapter. Book jacket.

Download or read book Efficient Absorbing Boundary Conditions for Modeling Wave Propagation in Unbounded Domains written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many engineering problems (e.g. soil-structure interaction, medical imaging and nondestructive evaluation) encounter the phenomena of wave propagation. Among these problems some involve domains of infinite extent. Standard numerical methods such as finite element and finite difference methods cannot handle the unbounded domain as they are designed for the analysis of bounded domains. In order to solve an unbounded-domain problem, the domain is truncated around a region of interest, and absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) are applied on the truncation boundary. These ABCs are expected to absorb outgoing waves and mimic the effect of the truncated exterior. Continued-fraction absorbing boundary conditions (CFABCs) are a class of highly efficient ABCs for modeling acoustic wave absorption into unbounded domains. The current versions of CFABCs are applicable only to non-dispersive scalar wave equation and are not effective for dispersive or elastic wave propagation problems. This dissertation contains extensions of CFABCs to dispersive and elastic wave propagation problems. The main difficulty in the case of dispersive wave propagation is that evanescent waves have significant presence and are not treated accurately by original CFABCs. In the first part of the dissertation, CFABCs are modified to effectively absorb propagating as well as evanescent waves. This is achieved with the help of special padding elements that absorb the evanescent waves and standard CFABC elements that are effective in absorbing propagating waves. Called the "padded CFABC", this combination is shown to be a highly efficient and accurate ABC for dispersive wave equations. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of these ABCs. The second part of the dissertation involves the extension of CFABCs to elastic wave propagation problems. Elastic wave propagation is inherently complex because of the strong coupling of pressure and shear waves that propagate at different speeds.
