Wave propagation at the boundary surface of elastic and initially stressed viscothermoelastic diffusion with voids media

The present investigation is concerned with the wave propagation at the boundary surface of elastic half-space and initially stressed viscothermoelastic diffusion with voids half-space. The longitudinal and transverse waves are incident obliquely at the plane interface between uniform elastic half-space and initially stressed viscothermoelastic diffusion with voids half-space. It is found that the amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are functions of angle of incidence, frequency of incident wave and are influenced by the initial stress, diffusion, voids, elastic and viscoelastic properties of media. The expressions of amplitude ratios and energy ratios are obtained in closed form and computed numerically for a specific model. The variations of energy ratios with angle of incidence are shown graphically. The conservation of energy at the interface is verified.     

Wave Reflection in Triclinic Crystalline Medium

In this paper, the reflection of a plane wave at a traction free boundary of a half -space composed of triclinic crystalline material is considered. It is shown that an incident plane wave generates three plane waves, namely quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH) waves governed by the propagation condition involving the acoustic tensor. A simple procedure is presented for the calculation of all the three phase velocities of these waves. It is demonstrated that the direction of particle motion is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the direction of propagation. A procedure is established for the calculation of the amplitude vector in terms of the phase velocity, the propagation vector, and the stiffness coefficients of the medium. Closed form solutions are obtained for the reflection coefficients of qP, qSV and qSH waves. Using the parameters of Vosges sandstone exhibiting triclinic symmetry, the graphical representations of the reflection coefficients due to an incident qP wave are given. It is observed that, in triclinic medium, the reflection coefficients are significantly different from those in an isotropic medium.     

Dispersion and attenuation of torsional wave in a viscoelastic layer bonded between a layer and a half-space of dry sandy media

Propagation of a torsional wave in a doubly-layered half-space structure of an initially stressed heterogeneous viscoelastic layer sandwiched between a layer and a half-space of heterogeneous dry sandy media is studied. A closed form complex expression for the velocity profile is obtained under effective boundary conditions. The real part of the complex expression provides a dispersion equation, and the imaginary part yields a damping equation. The derived dispersion and damped equations are in well agreement with the classical Love wave condition. In addition, to study the effect of the dissipation factor, the attenuation coefficient, the sandy parameters, the initial stress, the heterogeneity parameters, and the thickness ratio parameter, some noteworthy contemplations are made by numerical calculations and graphical visuals. The results of this paper may present a deeper insight into the behaviour of propagation phenomena in heterogeneous viscoelastic and heterogeneous dry sandy materials that can provide a theoretical guide for the design and optimization in the field of earthquake engineering. The study also reveals that the presence of a damping part due to viscoelasticity affects the torsional wave propagation significantly.     

Inhomogeneous plane waves in compressible viscous fluids

The propagation of inhomogeneous plane waves in a compressible viscous fluid is considered. The frequency and the slowness vector are both allowed to be complex. There are seen to be two types of solutions: (a) two transverse waves, which involve no density or pressure fluctuations, (b) a longitudinal wave, which involves no fluctuations in vorticity. For each type, a propagation condition is obtained giving the (complex) squared length of the slowness vector as a function of frequency. Each depends also on the viscosities. It is seen how to recover the incompressible case as the limit in which the inviscid acoustic wave speed tends to infinity. Each wave is shown to be linearly stable for real frequencies. These waves are attenuated in space and time but nevertheless it is possible to define constant weighted mean values (over a cycle of the propagating part of the wave) of the energy density, energy flux and dissipation. The energy-dissipation equation and the propagation conditions are used to derive relationships between these constant weighted means, some of which are generalizations to compressible fluids of previously known results for incompressible fluids. Explicit expressions in terms of frequency are given for the weighted means.

Reflection and refraction of attenuated waves at boundary of elastic solid and porous solid saturated with two immiscible viscous fluids

The propagation of elastic waves is studied in a porous solid saturated with two immiscible viscous fluids.The propagation of three longitudinal waves is represented through three scalar potential functions.The lone transverse wave is presented by a vector potential function.The displacements of particles in different phases of the aggregate are defined in terms of these potential functions.It is shown that there exist three longitudinal waves and one transverse wave.The phenomena of reflection and refraction due to longitudinal and transverse waves at a plane interface between an elastic solid half-space and a porous solid half-space saturated with two immiscible viscous fluids are investigated.For the presence of viscosity in pore-fluids,the waves refracted to the porous medium attenuate in the direction normal to the interface.The ratios of the amplitudes of the reflected and refracted waves to that of the incident wave are calculated as a nonsingular system of linear algebraic equations.These amplitude ratios are used to further calculate the shares of different scattered waves in the energy of the incident wave.The modulus of the amplitude and the energy ratios with the angle of incidence are computed for a particular numerical model.The conservation of the energy across the interface is verified.The effects of variations in non-wet saturation of pores and frequencies on the energy partition are depicted graphically and discussed.     

Wave propagation along a non-principal direction in a compressible pre-stressed elastic layer

The dispersive behavior of small amplitude waves propagating along a non-principal direction in a pre-stressed, compressible elastic layer is considered. One of the principal axes of stretch is normal to the elastic layer and the direction of propagation makes an angle θ with one of the in-plane principal axes. The dispersion relations which relate wave speed and wavenumber are obtained for both symmetric and anti-symmetric motions by formulating the incremental boundary value problem for a general strain energy function. The behavior of the dispersion curves for symmetric waves is for the most part similar to that of the anti-symmetric waves at the low and high wavenumber limits. At the low wavenumber limit, depending on the pre-stress and propagation angle, it may be possible for both the fundamental mode and the next lowest mode to have finite phase speeds, while other higher modes have an infinite phase speed. At the high wavenumber limit, the phase speeds of the fundamental mode and the higher modes tend to the Rayleigh surface wave speed and the limiting wave speeds of the layer, respectively. Numerical results are presented for a Blatz–Ko material and the effect of the propagation angle is clearly illustrated.

Finite-amplitude Love waves in a pre-stressed compressible elastic half-space with a double surface layer

The dispersive behavior of finite-amplitude time-harmonic Love waves propagating in a pre-stressed compressible elastic half-space overlaid with two compressible elastic surface layers of finite thickness is investigated. The half-space and layers are made of different pre-stressed compressible neo-Hookean materials. The dispersion relation which relates wave speed and wavenumber is obtained in explicit form. Results for the energy density and energy flux of the waves are also presented. The special case where the interfaces between the layers and the half-space are principal planes of the left Cauchy–Green deformation tensor is also investigated. Numerical results are presented showing the variation of the Love wave speed with the pre-stress and the propagation angle.     

Energy propagation in a deformed elastic material

Resultant material and spatial energy propagation vectors are defined for waves of small amplitude superposed on large static deformations in elastic materials of arbitrary symmetry. It is shown that the resultant material energy propagation vector is in the direction of the normal to the slowness surface and hence in that of the bicharacteristics.     

Load motion along a beam on a viscoelastic half-space

An expression is derived for equivalent foundation of a viscoelastic half-space interacting with an Euler–Bernoulli beam. It is shown that this equivalent viscoelastic foundation depends on frequencies and wave numbers of the waves in the beam. The real and imaginary part of it substantially varies for phase velocities in between the Rayleigh and shear waves velocities. Radiation of elastic waves occurs for velocities larger than some velocity in that interval. The steady-state beam displacements due to a uniformly moving constant load are calculated for different velocities. The maximum displacement under the load takes place for a velocity of order of the Rayleigh waves velocity.     

各向异性粘弹性多孔截止中平面波的传播

This study discusses wave propagation in perhaps the most general model of a poroelastic medium. The medium is considered as a viscoelastic, anisotropic and porous solid frame such that its pores of anisotropic permeability are filled with a viscous fluid. The anisotropy considered is of general type, and the attenuating waves in the medium are treated as the inhomogeneous waves. The complex slowness vector is resolved to define the phase velocity, homogeneous attenuation, inhomogeneous attenuation, and angle of attenuation for each of the four attenuating waves in the medium. A non-dimensional parameter measures the deviation of an inhomogeneous wave from its homogeneous version. An numerical model of a North-Sea sandstone is used to analyze the effects of the propagation direction, inhomogeneity parameter, frequency regime, anisotropy symmetry, anelasticity of the frame, and viscosity of the pore-fluid on the propagation characteristics of waves in such a medium.     

The propagation of initially plane waves in nonhomogeneous viscoelastic media

In this study, the propagation of an initially plane wave in a linear isotropic nonhomogeneous viscoelastic medium, where the nonhomogeneity varies transversely to the direction of propagation, is investigated. For this purpose, first the propagation of waves in a linear isotropic viscoelastic medium of arbitrary inhomogeneity is studied by employing the notion of singular surfaces. The characteristic equation governing wave velocities, and the growth and decay equations describing the change of the strength of the discontinuity as the wave front moves are obtained.In the second part of this work, the propagation of initially plane waves is studied for three types of inhomogeneities by employing the findings established in the first part. The first kind of inhomogeneity considered is of axisymmetrical type where the wave propagation velocity depends on the radial coordinate only, increasing linearly up to a certain radial distance and remaining constant thereafter. The second kind is also axisymmetrical with a wave velocity distribution decreasing linearly till a given value of the radial coordinate. In the third one, the wave velocity is assumed to vary linearly over a given interval along a certain coordinate axis only, which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and remain constant outside. The ray and wave front analyses are carried out and the decay or growth of stress and velocity discontinuities are studied for each of the three cases.     

Vertical Momentum Fluxes Induced by Weakly Nonlinear Internal Waves on the Shelf

Free inertia-gravity internal waves in a two-dimensional stratified flow of an ideal fluid with a vertical velocity shear are considered in the Boussinesq approximation. The boundary-value problem for the amplitude of the vertical velocity of internal waves has complex coefficients; therefore, the wave frequency has an imaginary correction and the eigenfunction is complex. It is shown that the wave is weakly damped, the vertical wave momentum fluxes being nonzero and can be greater than the turbulent fluxes. The Stokes drift velocity component transverse to the direction of wave propagation is nonzero and less than the longitudinal component by an order of magnitude. The dispersion curves of the first two modes are cut off in the low-frequency domain due to the influence of critical layers in which the wave frequency taken with the Doppler shift is equal to the inertial frequency.     

One-dimensional linear waves with axial and central symmetries in saturated porous media

The features of propagation of one-dimensional monochromatic waves and dynamics of weak perturbations with axial and central symmetries in liquid-saturated porous medium are investigated. Non-stationary interaction forces and viscoelastic skeleton characteristics are taken into account. The research is carried out within the two-velocity, two-stress tensor model by applying methods of multiphase media mechanics. The system of equations is solved numerically by applying Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. The influence of geometry of the process on wave propagation behavior is studied.It is shown that the initial pressure perturbation splits into two waves: fast (deformational) wave and slow (filtrational) one. Each of them is followed by the balance wave: that is, rarefaction wave after compression wave and compression wave after rarefaction wave; at that slow wave and balance one following fast wave may interfere.     

Reflection of longitudinal displacement wave at the viscoelastically supported boundary of micropolar half-space

The reflection of elastic waves at the boundary of micropolar half-space with the viscoelastic support is studied in this paper. The spring-dashpot model is used to model the viscoelastic support. The boundary condition includes the force stress, couple stress, the displacements and the micro-rotation and the contribution from the spring and the dashpot on them. The amplitude ratios and phase shifts of reflection waves with respect to the incident wave are obtained from the visco-elastic boundary conditions. Further, the energy flux ratios of the reflection waves to the incident wave are estimated and the energy flux conservation with consideration of the energy dissipation of visco-elastic boundary is used to validate the numerical results. Based on the numerical results, the influences of spring and dashpot are studied respectively. It is found that the elastically supported boundary and the viscously supported boundary have evident different influences on the amplitude ratio and the phase shift. The causes resulting in these deviations are related with the instantaneous elasticity of elastic boundary and the time-delay effects of viscous boundary.     

Inhomogeneous plane waves in viscous fluids

The propagation of elliptically polarised inhomogeneous plane waves in a linearly viscous fluid is considered. The angular frequency and the slowness vector are both assumed to be complex. Use is made throughout of Gibbs bivectors (complex vectors). It is seen that there are two types of solutions—the zero pressure solution, for which the increment in pressure due to the propagation of the wave is zero, and a universal solution which is independent of the viscosity.Since the waves are attenuated in time, the usual mean energy flux vector is not a suitable way of measuring energy flux. A new energy flux vector, appropriate to these waves is defined, and results relating it with energy dissipation and energy density are obtained. These results are related to a result derived directly from the balance of energy equation.     

SH-waves in viscoelastic heterogeneous layer over half-space with self-weight

The effect of gravity, heterogeneity and internal friction on propagation of SH-waves (horizontally polarised shear waves) in viscoelastic layer over a half-space has been studied. Using the method of separation of variables, dispersion equation has been obtained and used to recover the damped velocity of SH-waves. Both the real and imaginary parts of dispersion equation are in well agreement with the classical Love wave equation. It has been observed that heterogeneity of the medium affects the velocity profile of SH-wave significantly. Some other peculiarities have been observed and discussed in our study.     

THE ESTIMATE AND MEASUREMENT OF TRANSVERSE WAVE INTENSITY

Transverse waves are a type of structural waves and should be considered in the analy-sis of high frequency vibration because the energy carried by transverse waves increases with the in-crease of frequency and becomes important at high frequencies. This paper studies the estimate theoryand measuring technique of the transverse wave intensity in two dimensional homogeneous structures.In general, the intensity vector is the sum of the effective intensity vector and the intensity variationvector. Each axial intensity component is proportional to two imaginary parts of cross spectral densitiesand its estimate is complicated. For the special case where transverse waves propagate in one direction,the intensity variation is zero and the estimate of the intensity is simplified. The intensity technique isformed based on the finite difference principle. Transverse wave intensity can be measured using a pairof two-transducer arrays lying in the orthogonal direction for the general case or a two-transducer ar-ray lying in the propagating direction for the special case. In order to assess the measurement accuracyof transverse wave intensity, the coupling loss factors from bending to transverse waves in buildingstructures were measured using the intensity technique and compared with the results predicted andmeasured using the conventional method. It is shown that the agreement between the results measuredusing the intensity technique and that by the conventional method is good.     

Wave propagation through an interface between viscoelastic media in the presence of defects

The propagation of plane harmonic waves through an interface between viscoelastic media is considered using the equations of field theory of defects, the kinematic identities for an elastic continuum with defects, and the dynamic equations of gauge theory. The reflection and refraction coefficients of elastic displacement waves and the waves of a defect field characterized by a dislocation density tensor and a defect flux tensor are determined. Dependences of the obtained quantities on the parameters of the interfacing media are analyzed.
