This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The translation into English of Academician Fedorov's ex cellent treatise on elastic wave propagation in solids has come at an opportune time. His systematic exposition of all aspects of this field is most lucid and straightforward. The author has gone to considerable pains to develop in his mathematical background a consistent tensor framework which acts as a unifying motif through out the various aspects of the subject. In many respects his approach will appear quite novel as his treatment introduces several concepts and parameters previously unfamiliar to the literature of the West. Extensive tables in the final chapters illustrate the application of these ideas to the exist ing body of experimental data. The book is both extensive and comprehensive in al1 phases of the subject. Workers in the fields of ultrasonic propagation and elastic properties will find this treatise of great interest and direct concern. H. B. Huntington Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, New York November 1967 v Preface to the American Edition In preparing this edition I have corrected various misprints and errors appearing in the Russian edition, but I have also incorpo rated some substantial changes and additions, the latter representing some results I and my colleagues have recently obtained and pub_ lished in Russian journals. For example, in section 32 I have added a general derivation of the equation for the seetion of the wave surface by a symmetry plane for cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, and orthorhombic crystals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights a systematic introduction to the basic theory of elastic wave propagation in complex media. The theory of elastic waves is widely used in fields such as geophysical exploration, seismic survey, medical ultrasound imaging, nondestructive testing of materials and structures, phononic crystals, metamaterials and structure health monitoring. To help readers develop a systematic grasp of the basic theory, and thus its applications, the book elaborates on the theory of elastic wave propagation in isotropic solid media, covering phenomena in infinite media, interfaces, layered structure with finite thickness, Rayleigh wave and Love wave propagating along the surface of semi-infinite solid and covering layer, and the guided waves and leaky waves in flat plates and in cylindrical rods. The propagation patterns and features of guided waves in cylindrical shells and spherical shells are also introduced. The author wrote the book based on a decade of teaching experience of a graduate course of the same name and two decades of research on the theory and applications. The book is a valuable reference for students, researchers and professionals who expect an understandable and comprehensive discussion of the theory, analytical methods and related research results.
Download or read book Elastic wave propagation in transversely isotropic media written by R.C. Payton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this monograph I record those parts of the theory of transverse isotropic elastic wave propagation which lend themselves to an exact treatment, within the framework of linear theory. Emphasis is placed on transient wave motion problems in two- and three-dimensional unbounded and semibounded solids for which explicit results can be obtained, without resort to approximate methods of integration. The mathematical techniques used, many of which appear here in book form for the first time, will be of interest to applied mathematicians, engeneers and scientists whose specialty includes crystal acoustics, crystal optics, magnetogasdynamics, dislocation theory, seismology and fibre wound composites. My interest in the subject of anisotropic wave motion had its origin in the study of small deformations superposed on large deformations of elastic solids. By varying the initial stretch in a homogeneously deformed solid, it is possible to synthesize aniso tropic materials whose elastic parameters vary continuously. The range of the parameter variation is limited by stability considerations in the case of small deformations super posed on large deformation problems and (what is essentially the same thing) by the of hyperbolicity (solids whose parameters allow wave motion) for anisotropic notion solids. The full implication of hyperbolicity for anisotropic elastic solids has never been previously examined, and even now the constraints which it imposes on the elasticity constants have only been examined for the class of transversely isotropic (hexagonal crystals) materials.

The first volume studies the different mechanisms of propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media. The second volume describes the generation and applications of free and guided waves.
Download or read book The Physics of Phonons written by G.P Srivastava and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been few books devoted to the study of phonons, a major area of condensed matter physics. The Physics of Phonons is a comprehensive theoretical discussion of the most important topics, including some topics not previously presented in book form. Although primarily theoretical in approach, the author refers to experimental results wherever possible, ensuring an ideal book for both experimental and theoretical researchers. The author begins with an introduction to crystal symmetry and continues with a discussion of lattice dynamics in the harmonic approximation, including the traditional phenomenological approach and the more recent ab initio approach, detailed for the first time in this book. A discussion of anharmonicity is followed by the theory of lattice thermal conductivity, presented at a level far beyond that available in any other book. The chapter on phonon interactions is likewise more comprehensive than any similar discussion elsewhere. The sections on phonons in superlattices, impure and mixed crystals, quasicrystals, phonon spectroscopy, Kapitza resistance, and quantum evaporation also contain material appearing in book form for the first time. The book is complemented by numerous diagrams that aid understanding and is comprehensively referenced for further study. With its unprecedented wide coverage of the field, The Physics of Phonons will be indispensable to all postgraduates, advanced undergraduates, and researchers working on condensed matter physics.

Book excerpt: The mathematical modelling of changing structures in materials is of increasing importance to industry where applications of the theory are found in subjects as diverse as aerospace and medicine. This book deals with aspects of the nonlinear dynamics of deformable ordered solids (known as elastic crystals) where the nonlinear effects combine or compete with each other. Physical and mathematical models are discused and computational aspects are also included. Different models are considered - on discrete as well as continuum scales - applying heat, electricity, or magnetism to the crystal structure and these are analysed using the equations of rational mechanics. Students are introduced to the important equations of nonlinear science that describe shock waves, solitons and chaos and also the non-exactly integrable systems or partial differential equations. A large number of problems and examples are included, many taken from recent research and involving both one-dimensional and two-dimensional problems as well as some coupled degress of freedom.

Book excerpt: Elastic Waves: High Frequency Theory is concerned with mathematical aspects of the theory of high-frequency elastic waves, which is based on the ray method. The foundations of elastodynamics are presented along with the basic theory of plane and spherical waves. The ray method is then described in considerable detail for bulk waves in isotropic and anisotropic media, and also for the Rayleigh waves on the surface of inhomogeneous anisotropic elastic solids. Much attention is paid to analysis of higher-order terms and to generation of waves in inhomogeneous media. The aim of the book is to present a clear, systematic description of the ray method, and at the same time to emphasize its mathematical beauty. Luckily, this beauty is usually not accompanied by complexity and mathematical ornateness.

Download or read book Elastic Wave Propagation and Scattering in Polycrystals written by Anubhav Roy and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polycrystalline aggregates of randomly distributed grains are associated with a fluctuating elastic stiffness. These fluctuations or heterogeneities are potential scatterers to the elastic waves propagating through the polycrystalline microstructures. The scattering within these microstructures results in the attenuation of energy and a change in the phase velocity (wavespeed) of the incident wave. The attenuation and wavespeed are measurable quantities that reveal important information about the respective microstructure. Existing theoretical models apply a first-order Keller approximation or an equivalent first-order smoothing approximation (FOSA) to predict the attenuation and wavespeed in polycrystals. This dissertation presents a theoretical framework to investigate the effects of the third-order smoothing approximation (TOSA) on the attenuation and wavespeed estimates in transversely isotropic aggregates of randomly distributed cubic grains. \par The Keller approximation-based Unified Theory model is constructed in the spatial domain applicable to the propagation of plane waves. On the other hand, the equivalent FOSA-based model in the frequency domain, free from such plane wave assumptions, directly applies to modeling the diffuse fields as it considers a truncation of the mass operator series contained in an elastodynamic Dyson equation. This truncated Dyson series provides a statistical expectation of the Green's function dyadic used to model the respective mean field propagation. However, the existing FOSA-based model involves a Born approximation that limits its application to the stochastic scattering regime characterized by a transitional domain between the low and high frequencies. In this dissertation, the FOSA-based model has been extended for the first time to provide solutions beyond the Born approximation applicable for the full range of frequencies spanning from the Rayleigh (low frequencies) to the geometric regime (high frequencies). Independently generated FOSA-based estimates of wavespeed and attenuation in common metals like aluminum, iron, and lithium show reasonable agreement with the corresponding Unified Theory estimates. \par The FOSA-based model developed in the frequency domain is extended to incorporate two additional multiple scattering terms associated with the TOSA-based truncation to the Dyson series. The effects of including the TOSA-based terms are studied for the full range of frequencies from the Rayleigh to the geometric regime. These effects are quantified as a ratio between the estimates from the current model, including TOSA, and from the corresponding FOSA-based model. For low-frequency propagation under assumptions of Rayleigh limit, closed-form solutions of attenuation and wavespeed are obtained with and without considering Born approximation. The effects of including TOSA in the low frequencies have been studied for $758$ cubic metals with different degrees of elastic heterogeneities. The study in the low frequencies confirms a correlation between higher-order scattering and the degree of heterogeneity. Attenuation estimates are more sensitive than the wavespeed estimates to higher-order scattering. Moreover, the transverse or shear waves show a stronger sensitivity to higher-order scattering at low frequencies than longitudinal waves at the same frequencies. \par Significant effects of including the TOSA-based terms are observed in the high frequencies. Analogous to the FOSA-based estimates of wavespeed dispersion, the variation of attenuation in the geometric regime is found to be dependent on the incident mode while including the TOSA-based terms. Moreover, the attenuation and wavespeed dispersion in the geometric zone reveals a strong dependence on the degree of heterogeneity while including the TOSA-based terms. Nevertheless, both for longitudinal and transverse modes of propagation, the attenuation estimates start decreasing with increasing frequencies while considering the TOSA-based model. This can be attributed to a possible gain of resonance captured by the higher-order scattering events within the microstructure for propagation of high-frequency waves. This model can be applied to different microstructures possessing elastic heterogeneities to investigate the respective higher-order scattering effects. That may generate opportunities to offer a better agreement with the experimentally measured estimates in textured or porous microstructures. Beside the attenuation and wavespeed, analogous to the existing FOSA-based model, this model offers a direct scope of extension to provide other important estimates like the intensity of the scattered waves, diffusivity, etc.
Download or read book Symmetry and Physical Properties of Crystals written by Cécile Malgrange and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystals are everywhere, from natural crystals (minerals) through the semiconductors and magnetic materials in electronic devices and computers or piezoelectric resonators at the heart of our quartz watches to electro-optical devices. Understanding them in depth is essential both for pure research and for their applications. This book provides a clear, thorough presentation of their symmetry, both at the microscopic space-group level and the macroscopic point-group level. The implications of the symmetry of crystals for their physical properties are then presented, together with their mathematical description in terms of tensors. The conditions on the symmetry of a crystal for a given property to exist then become clear, as does the symmetry of the property. The geometrical representation of tensor quantities or properties is presented, and its use in determining important relationships emphasized. An original feature of this book is that most chapters include exercises with complete solutions. This allows readers to test and improve their understanding of the material. The intended readership includes undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and materials-related aspects of electrical and optical engineering; researchers involved in the investigation of the physical properties of crystals and the design of applications based on crystal properties such as piezoelectricity, electro-optics, optical activity and all those involved in the characterization of the structural properties of materials.

This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of the book is a coherent treatment of the theory of propagation in materials of nonlinearly elastic waves of displacements, which corresponds to one modern line of development of the nonlinear theory of elastic waves. The book is divided on five basic parts: the necessary information on waves and materials; the necessary information on nonlinear theory of elasticity and elastic materials; analysis of one-dimensional nonlinear elastic waves of displacement – longitudinal, vertically and horizontally polarized transverse plane nonlinear elastic waves of displacement; analysis of one-dimensional nonlinear elastic waves of displacement – cylindrical and torsional nonlinear elastic waves of displacement; analysis of two-dimensional nonlinear elastic waves of displacement – Rayleigh and Love nonlinear elastic surface waves. The book is addressed first of all to people working in solid mechanics – from the students at an advanced undergraduate and graduate level to the scientists, professionally interesting in waves. But mechanics is understood in the broad sense, when it includes mechanical and other engineering, material science, applied mathematics and physics and so forth. The genesis of this book can be found in author’s years of research and teaching while a head of department at SP Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), a member of Center for Micro and Nanomechanics at Engineering School of University of Aberdeen (Scotland) and a professor at Physical-Mathematical Faculty of National Technical University of Ukraine “KPI”. The book comprises 11 chapters. Each chapter is complemented by exercises, which can be used for the next development of the theory of nonlinear waves.
