Book Elastic Surface Waves in the Presence of a Fluid Layer

Download or read book Elastic Surface Waves in the Presence of a Fluid Layer written by P. Das and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The is a comprehensive report on the theoretical and experimental performance of devices using elastic surface waves in layered structures. The following are the main achievements of this effort: (1) Space charge coupled convolvers and correlators using surface waves and layer waves; experimental demonstration of lowest insertion loss, a few orders of magnitude lower than the previous state-of-the-art devices; and development of a detailed theory. (2) A new technique for optical probing of surface waves and layer waves: experimental determination of the decay parameter of a surface wave in the direction normal to the propagation surface; and the complete elastic fields in the layer wave structure; demonstration of 25% diffraction efficiency for each first order with only 500 mw of electrical power driving the surface wave transducers. Other important contributions in this report are the theoretical analysis of the layer wave propagation including loss or gain, and the observation of streaming phenomena in a liquid layer due to layer waves.

Book Surface Waves in Anisotropic and Laminated Bodies and Defects Detection

Download or read book Surface Waves in Anisotropic and Laminated Bodies and Defects Detection written by Robert V. Goldstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-02-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the variety of wave motions one can single out surface wave pr- agation since these surface waves often adjust the features of the energy transfer in the continuum (system), its deformation and fracture. Predicted by Rayleigh in 1885, surface waves represent waves localized in the vicinity ofextendedboundaries(surfaces)of?uidsorelasticmedia. Intheidealcase of an isotropic elastic half-space while the Rayleigh waves propagate along the surface, the wave amplitude (displacement) in the transverse direction exponentially decays with increasing distance away from the surface. As a resulttheenergyofsurfaceperturbationsislocalizedbytheRayleighwaves within a relatively narrow layer beneath the surface. It is this property of the surface waves that leads to the resonance phenomena that accompany the motion of the perturbation sources (like surface loads) with velocities close to the Rayleigh one; (see e. g. , R. V. Goldstein. Rayleigh waves and resonance phenomena in elastic bodies. Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (PMM), 1965, v. 29, N 3, pp. 608-619). It is essential to note that resonance phenomena are also inherent to the elastic medium in the case where initially there are no free (unloaded) surfaces. However, they occur as a result of an external action accompanied by the violation of the continuity of certain physical quantities, e. g. , by crack nucleation and dynamic propagation. Note that the aforementioned resonance phenomena are related to the nature of the surface waves as homogeneous solutions (eigenfunctions) of the dynamic elasticity equations for a half-space (i. e. nonzero solutions at vanishing boundary conditions).

Book Surface Waves in Geomechanics  Direct and Inverse Modelling for Soils and Rocks

Download or read book Surface Waves in Geomechanics Direct and Inverse Modelling for Soils and Rocks written by Carlo G. Lai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-03-23 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theories of surface waves develop since the end of XIX century and many fundamental problems like existence, phase and group velocities, attenuation (quality factor), mode conversion, etc. have been, in part successfully, solved within the framework of such simple models as ideal fluids^ or linear elasticity. However, a sufficiently complete presentation of this subject, particularly for solids, is still missing in the literature. The sole exception is the book of I. A. Viktorov^ which contains an extensive discussion of fundamental properties of surface waves in homogeneous and stratified linear elastic solids with particular emphasis on contributions of Russian scientists. Unfortunately, the book has never been translated to English and its Russian version is also hardly available. Practical applications of surface waves develop intensively since a much shorter period of time than theories even though the motivation of discoverers of surface waves such as Lord Rayleigh stems from their appearance in geophysics and seismology. Nowadays the growing interest in practical applications of surface waves stem from the following two main factors: surface waves are ideal for developing relatively cheap and convenient methods of nondestructive testing of various systems spanning from nanomaterials (e.g.
