Reflection and transmission of regular water waves by a thin,floating plate

Measurements of the wave fields reflected and transmitted by a thin floating plastic plate are reported for regular incident waves over a range of incident periods (producing wavelengths comparable to the plate length) and steepnesses (ranging from mild to storm-like). Two different plastics are tested, with different densities and mechanical properties, and three different configurations are tested. The configurations include freely floating plates, loosely moored plates (to restrict drift), and plates with edge barriers (to restrict waves overwashing the plates). The wave fields reflected and transmitted by plates without barriers are shown to become irregular, as the incident waves become steeper, particularly for the denser plastic and the moored plate. Further, the proportion of energy transmitted by the plates without barriers is shown to decrease as the incident wave becomes steeper, and this is related to wave energy dissipation.     

Propagation of plane elastic waves at a plane interface between two electro-microelastic solid half-spaces

This work is concerned with the wave propagation and their reflection and transmission from a plane interface between two different electro-microelastic solid half-spaces in perfect contact. It is found that there exist five basic waves in an infinite electro-microelastic solid, namely an independent longitudinal micro-rotational wave, two sets of coupled longitudinal waves influenced by the electric effect, and two sets of coupled transverse waves. The existence of the two sets of coupled longitudinal waves is new. In the absence of microstretch and electric effects, these two coupled longitudinal waves reduce to a longitudinal displacement wave of micropolar elasticity. Amplitude and energy ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are presented when (i) a set of coupled longitudinal wave is made incident and (ii) a set of coupled transverse wave is made incident. Numerical computations have been performed for a particular model and the variations of amplitude and energy ratios are obtained against the angle of incidence. The results obtained are depicted graphically. It has been verified that the sum of energy ratios is equal to unity at the interface and the amplitude ratios of reflected and transmitted waves depend upon the angle of incidence, frequency and elastic properties of the media. Results of some earlier workers have also been reduced from the present formulation.     

Resonance in Polyurea-Based Multilayer Structures Subjected to Laser-Generated Stress Waves

We report resonance associated with polyurea layers sandwiched between identical acrylic and polycarbonate plates when subjected to laser-generated stress waves of several nanoseconds in duration. Transmitted stress wave amplitudes almost 16 times the incident stress wave amplitudes are observed. An elastodynamics simulation identified the thickness of the polyurea layer as the key parameter controlling the amplitude of the transmitted stress wave. This resonance effect was found absent when the polyurea was sandwiched between the steel and aluminum plates of similar thickness. However, for these samples, a dramatic reduction in the amplitudes of the transmitted stress waves was recorded. A finite element analysis of the wave propagation through the sandwiched polyurea layer in these samples tied the large amplitude reduction to the large acoustic impedance mismatch and the viscoelastic dissipation within the polyurea layer.     

Propagation of plane waves at the imperfect boundary of elastic and electro-microstretch generalized thermoelastic solids

The problem of reflection and transmission of plane waves incident on the contact surface of an elastic solid and an electro-microstretch generalized thermoelastic solid is discussed. It is found that there exist five reflected waves, i.e., longitudinal displacement （LD） wave, thermal （T） wave, longitudinal microstretch （LM） wave and two coupled transverse displacement and microrotational （CD（I） and CD（II）） waves in the electro-microstretch generalized thermoelastic solid, and two transmitted waves, i.e., longitudinal （P） and transverse （SV） waves in the elastic solid. The amplitude ratios of different reflected and transmitted waves are obtained for an imperfect boundary and deduced for normal force stiffness, transverse force stiffness, and perfect bonding. The variations of amplitude ratios with incidence angles have been depicted graphically for the LD wave and the CD（I） wave. It is noticed that the amplitude ratios of reflected and transmitted waves are affected by the stiffness, electric field, stretch, and thermal properties of the media. Some particular interest cases have been deduced from the present investigations.     

Rayleigh–Lamb Waves in a Compound Wave Guide. Reflection from and Transmission Through the Vertical Interface between Media with Different Impedances

The method of superposition is used to study the first normal wave reflecting from and transmitting through the interface in a compound waveguide consisting of two rigidly joined elastic half-strips with equal width and different mechanical properties. We study how the impedances of the contacting media influence the transformation of the energy of the incident wave to those of the reflected and transmitted waves. Two cases are considered — propagating waves of higher orders appear in the reflected wavefield earlier than in the transmitted wavefield and propagating waves of higher orders appear in the transmitted wavefield earlier than in the reflected wave field. For both cases, the impedances vary so that the incident wave can propagate in both more rigid and softer media. It is shown that by increasing the impedances of the contacting media, the interface can be made more transparent     

Influence of magnetic field on wave propagation at liquid-microstretch solid interface

The reflection and refraction of a longitudinal wave at an interface between a perfectly conducting nonviscous liquid half-space and a perfectly conducting microstretch elastic solid half-space are studied. The appropriate solutions to the governing equations are obtained in both the half-spaces satisfying the required boundary conditions at the interface to obtain a system of five non-homogeneous equations in the amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves. The system is solved by a Fortran program of the Gauss elimination method for a particular example of an interface between water and aluminum-epoxy composite. Numerical values of the amplitude ratios are computed for a certain range of the incidence angle both in the presence and absence of an impressed transverse magnetic field. The effects of the presence of the transverse magnetic field on the amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are shown graphically.     

非线性变形节理中纵波传播特性的理论研究

基于波前动量守恒理论和位移不连续方法所提出的时域分析新方法,引入岩石非线性法向本构关系,对弹性纵波在岩石非线性节理中的传播特性进行了理论分析。采用节理变形的双曲线模型(BB模型),获得纵波P波斜入射非线性节理的传播波动方程,并通过参数研究分析了在岩石节理中节理非线性系数、节理初始刚度、应力波入射角和入射波幅值等因素对纵波传播规律的影响。结果表明:所推导的应力波传播方程在考虑多种非线性问题时,通过迭代计算即可方便求出透射波和反射波的数值解,避免了复杂的数学运算;当波斜入射节理面时,产生了波型转换,节理变形的非线性对透射波和反射波有较大影响,透射系数和反射系数并非随着非线性参数的变化而单调变化。时域内所推导的波传播方程更有益于波斜入射时非线性参数的广泛研究,为开展该方面的理论研究工作提供了借鉴。

Investigations on flexural wave propagation of a periodic beam using multi-reflection method

The flexural wave propagation in a periodic beam with a propagating disturbance is studied by the use of the multi-reflection method. A propagating wave is incident upon a discontinuity and gives rise to transmitted and reflected waves. Here all of the transmitted and reflected waves of given flexural wave incident upon the beam at some specified location are found and superposed, and the method is extended to the case of incident evanescent wave. The results of incident waves at some location between discontinuities in a periodic beam are concerned. The relation between the wave-field of incident waves and the wave-field of resulting waves on any segments is expressed. As an example, the application of the results to the analysis of a finite periodic beam with a propagating disturbance is then demonstrated. The influences of the number of cells on the energy associated with propagating waves are considered.     

Lamb wave scattering by a symmetric pair of surface-breaking cracks in a plate

The scattering problem of a Lamb wave incident on a symmetric pair of surface-breaking transverse cracks in a plate is considered. The Lamb wave is assumed to be obliquely incident on the crack plane. Since the cracks are part-through, the scattered field will contain reflected as well as transmitted waves. The energy of the incoming wave is partitioned into reflected and transmitted wave modes. Energy coefficients of the reflected and transmitted waves are calculated as a function of incident frequency and crack depth. The incidence angle of the incoming wave is also treated as a parameter. Both the reflected and transmitted wave fields are considered as linear superpositions of all real and complex wave modes in the plate. Decomposition of modes is achieved with the help of an orthogonality condition based on the principle of reciprocal work. Continuity of displacement and stress fields is imposed at the crack plane. Energy coefficients for reflection and transmission are obtained from the mode amplitudes. Energy coefficients are shown to be a strong function of incident frequency and crack depth. Experiments are conducted with a PZT transducer network interacting with a symmetric pair of machined cracks in an aluminum plate. Trends predicted by the analysis are reflected in the experimental results.

Propagation of plane P-waves at interface between elastic solid and unsaturated poroelastic medium

A linear viscoporoelastic model is developed to describe the problem of reflection and transmission of an obliquely incident plane P-wave at the interface between an elastic solid and an unsaturated poroelastic medium, in which the solid matrix is filled with two weakly coupled fluids (liquid and gas). The expressions for the amplitude reflection coefficients and the amplitude transmission coefficients are derived by using the potential method. The present derivation is subsequently applied to study the energy conversions among the incident, reflected, and transmitted wave modes. It is found that the reflection and transmission coefficients in the forms of amplitude ratios and energy ratios are functions of the incident angle, the liquid saturation, the frequency of the incident wave, and the elastic constants of the upper and lower media. Numerical results are presented graphically. The effects of the incident angle, the frequency, and the liquid saturation on the amplitude and the energy reflection and transmission coefficients are discussed. It is verified that in the transmission process, there is no energy dissipation at the interface.     

Shock wave attenuation by grids and orifice plates

The interaction of weak shock waves with porous barriers of different geometries and porosities is examined. Installing a barrier inside the shock tube test section will cause the development of the following wave pattern upon a head-on collision between the incident shock wave and the barrier: a reflected shock from the barrier and a transmitted shock propagating towards the shock tube end wall. Once the transmitted shock wave reaches the end wall it is reflected back towards the barrier. This is the beginning of multiple reflections between the barrier and the end wall. This full cycle of shock reflections/interactions resulting from the incident shock wave collision with the barrier can be studied in a single shock tube test. A one-dimensional (1D), inviscid flow model was proposed for simulating the flow resulting from the initial collision of the incident shock wave with the barrier. Fairly good agreement is found between experimental findings and simulations based on a 1D flow model. Based on obtained numerical and experimental findings an optimal design procedure for shock wave attenuator is suggested. The suggested attenuator may ensure the safety of the shelter’s ventilation systems.     

Scattering of a Rayleigh wave by an elastic wedge whose angle is less than 180°

The steady-state problem of scattering of an incident Rayleigh wave by an elastic wedge whose angle is less than 180° is considered. The problem is reduced to the numerical solution of a pair of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind whose kernels are continuous functions. Numerical results are given for the amplitude and phase of the Rayleigh waves transmitted and reflected by the corner.     

Reflection and Transmission of Elastic Waves from the Interface of a Fluid-saturated Porous Solid and a Double Porosity Solid

The reflection and transmission characteristics of an incident plane P1 wave from the interface of a fluid-saturated single porous solid and a fluid-saturated double porosity solid are investigated. The fluid-saturated porous solid is modeled with the classic Biot’s theory and the double porosity medium is described by an extended Biot’s theory. In a double-porosity model with dual-permeability there exist three compressional waves and a shear wave. The effects of the incident angle and frequency on amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted waves to the incident wave are discussed. Two boundary conditions are discussed in detail: (a) Open-pore boundary and (b) Sealed-pore boundary. Numerical results reveal that the characteristics of the reflection and transmission coefficients to the incident angle and the frequency are quite different for the two cases of boundary conditions. Properties of the bulk waves existing in the fluid-saturated porous solid and the double porosity medium are also studied.     

Finite element method for shallow water equation including open boundary condition

A method to deal with an open boundary condition in the analysis of water surface waves, the tide, etc. by means of the finite element method is proposed in this paper. The present method has two important features relating to the treatment of the open boundary condition. The first feature is to consider the non-reflective virtual boundary condition which has been developed in the numerical wave analysis method. The incident wave conditions without spurious reflected waves can be imposed at the open boundary. The second feature is to identify the amplitude of the components of incident waves in terms of observed water elevations in the field of standing waves. This can be done as a parameter identification based on an optimization problem by applying the conjugate gradient method. The applicability of this method to wave propagation problems is verified by several numerical computations.     

Dual-element directional shock wave attenuators

This study explores the interaction between shock waves and dual-element porous plates used to ameliorate the hazardous effects of these waves. Tests were performed in a shock tube to determine the effects that a pair of porous plates with directional resistance properties had on the initial peak pressure and impulse amelioration experienced by an end wall. Mild steel test specimens, ranging in porosity values from 6.6% to 41.1%, were mounted two at a time at different spacings in the test section. Each plate had directional properties, i.e. resistance to flow was different for flow coming from either side. Four plates were used, and 48 plate configurations were tested. Side wall and end wall pressure measurements and schlieren photographs were taken of the interactions. Tests were run at Mach numbers of 1.23, 1.35 and 1.42. The separation distances between the plate specimens were varied between 30 mm and 60 mm; however, the distance between the downstream plate and the end wall was kept constant at 140 mm for all tests.Both the initial peak pressure and impulse amelioration values were found to be dependant on the plate combination porosity. As the porosity of the combination increased, the amelioration values decreased. Complementary plate combinations produced differing results as different wave interactions occur when plate positions were interchanged. The porosity of the combined plates was found to have an overriding influence on the end wall peak pressure and impulse amelioration values when compared to the effect that plate arrangement (i.e. geometrical influences) had. Impulse amelioration values were found to increase as the separation distance between plates were increased. The amplitude of the end wall pressure trace was found to increase as the incident Mach number was increased. The significant attenuation of the incident shock wave obtained during this study is attributed to the system of multiple reflected and transmitted waves that are produced by the presence of the plate specimens in series. This increases the frequency of shock wave and barrier interactions, when compared to just using a single barrier.     

Shock wave propagation in a branched duct

The propagation of a planar shock wave in a 90° branched duct is studied experimentally and numerically. It is shown that the interaction of the transmitted shock wave with the branching segment results in a complex, two-dimensional unsteady flow. Multiple shock wave reflections from the duct's walls cause weakening of transmitted waves and, at late times, an approach to an equilibrium, one-dimensional flow. While at most places along the branched duct walls calculated pressures are lower than that existing behind the original incident shock wave, at the branching segment's right corner, where a head on-collision between the transmitted wave and the corner is experienced, pressures that are significantly higher than those existing behind the original incident shock wave are encountered. The numerically evaluated pressures can be accepted with confidence, due to the very good agreement found between experimental and numerical results with respect to the geometry of the complex wave pattern observed inside the branched duct.
