Propagation of torsional surface wave in anisotropic poroelastic medium under initial stress

The present work deals with the possibility of propagation of torsional surface wave in fluid saturated poroelastic layer lying over nonhomogeneous elastic half space. Both the media are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. The half space has two types of inhomogeneity, viz; hyperbolic and quadratic. The dispersion equation for torsional wave in porous layer has been derived and observed that the presence of fluid in pores increases the velocity of the torsional surface wave but the phase velocity diminishes due to the presence of compressive initial stress in the porous layer. It is also observed that the velocity of the torsional surface wave increases due to the increase of initial stress in inhomogeneous half space. The inhomogeneity factor due to quadratic and hyperbolic variations in rigidity, density and initial stress of the medium decreases the phase velocity as it increases.     

Effect of rigid boundary on propagation of torsional surface waves in porous elastic layer

The paper presents the effect of a rigid boundary on the propagation of torsional surface waves in a porous elastic layer over a porous elastic half-space using the mechanics of the medium derived by Cowin and Nunziato (Cowin, S. C. and Nunziato, J. W. Linear elastic materials with voids. Journal of Elasticity, 13(2), 125–147 (1983)). The velocity equation is derived, and the results are discussed. It is observed that there may be two torsional surface wave fronts in the medium whereas three wave fronts of torsional surface waves in the absence of the rigid boundary plane given by Dey et al. (Dey, S., Gupta, S., Gupta, A. K., Kar, S. K., and De, P. K. Propagation of torsional surface waves in an elastic layer with void pores over an elastic half-space with void pores. Tamkang Journal of Science and Engineering, 6(4), 241–249 (2003)). The results also reveal that in the porous layer, the Love wave is also available along with the torsional surface waves. It is remarkable that the phase speed of the Love wave in a porous layer with a rigid surface is different from that in a porous layer with a free surface. The torsional waves are observed to be dispersive in nature, and the velocity decreases as the oscillation frequency increases.     

Influence of linearly varying density and rigidity on torsional surface waves in inhomogeneous crustal layer

The present work deals with the possibility of propagation of torsional surface wave in an inhomogeneous crustal layer over an inhomogeneous half space. The layer has inhomogeneity which varies linearly with depth whereas the inhomogeneous half space exhibits inhomogeneity of three types, namely, exponential, quadratic, and hyperbolic discussed separately. The dispersion equation is deduced for each case in a closed form. For a layer over a homogeneous half space, the dispersion equation agrees with the equation of the classical case. It is observed that the inhomogeneity factor due to linear variation in density in the inhomogeneous crustal layer decreases as the phase velocity increases, while the inhomogeneity factor in rigidity has the reverse effect on the phase velocity.     

Propagation of SH waves in an irregular monoclinic crustal layer

The present paper discusses the dispersion equation for SH waves in a monoclinic layer over a semi-infinite elastic medium with an irregularity. In the absence of the irregularity, the dispersion equation reduces to standard dispersion equation for SH waves in a monoclinic layer over an isotropic semi-infinite medium. The dispersion curves for different size of the irregularity are computed and compared for the half-space without any irregularity. It can be seen that the phase velocity is strongly influenced by the wave number and the depth of the irregularity.     

Effect of rigid boundary on the propagation of torsional waves in a homogeneous layer over a heterogeneous half-space

In the present paper we study the effect of rigid boundary on the propagation of torsional waves in a homogeneous layer over a semi-infinite heterogeneous half-space, where the heterogeneity is both in rigidity and density. The present study demonstrates that torsional waves can propagate in the layer. The velocities of torsional waves have been calculated numerically as a functions of KH, (where K is the wave number and H is the thickness of the layer) and are presented in a number of graphs. It is also observed that, for a layer over a homogeneous half-space, the velocity of torsional waves does not coincide with that of Love waves in the presence of the rigid boundary whereas it does at the free boundary.     

Response of moving load due to irregularity in slightly compressible,finitely deformed elastic media

The present paper has been framed to study the stresses produced on the rough surface of a slightly compressible, finitely deformed half space due to a normal moving load. The surface of the medium is irregular with parabolic type of irregularity. The perturbation method is applied to find the displacement field. The normal and shear stresses have been obtained in closed form and discussed numerically by means of figures. It has been observed that the shear stress developed at different depths below the surface depends on the irregularity depth, frictional coefficient and irregularity factor of the rough surface of the medium. Also, surface plots have been drawn to analyze the combined variation of non-dimensional stresses and irregularity factor against depth.

Propagation of torsional waves in an inhomogeneous layer over an inhomogeneous half-space

The present paper is concerned with the study of propagation of torsional waves in an inhomogeneous isotropic layer whose material properties vary harmonically with a space variable, lying over a semi-infinite inhomogeneous isotropic half-space. The closed form solutions for the displacement in the layer and half-space are obtained separately. The dimensionless phase velocity has been plotted against dimensionless wave number and scaled wave number for different values of inhomogeneity parameters. The effects of inhomogeneity have been shown in the dispersion curves using 2D and 3D plot.     

An analytical approach to reconstruction of axisymmetric defects in pipelines using T(0, 1) guided waves

Torsional guided waves have been widely utilized to inspect the surface corrosion in pipelines due to their simple displacement behaviors and the ability of longrange transmission. Especially, the torsional mode T (0, 1), which is the first order of torsional guided waves, plays the irreplaceable position and role, mainly because of its non-dispersion characteristic property. However, one of the most pressing challenges faced in modern quality inspection is to detect the surface defects in pipelines with a high level of accuracy. Taking into account this situation, a quantitative reconstruction method using the torsional guided wave T (0, 1) is proposed in this paper. The methodology for defect reconstruction consists of three steps. First, the reflection coefficients of the guided wave T (0, 1) scattered by different sizes of axisymmetric defects are calculated using the developed hybrid finite element method (HFEM). Then, applying the boundary integral equation (BIE) and Born approximation, the Fourier transform of the surface defect profile can be analytically derived as the correlative product of reflection coefficients of the torsional guided wave T (0, 1) and the fundamental solution of the intact pipeline in the frequency domain. Finally, reconstruction of defects is precisely performed by the inverse Fourier transform of the product in the frequency domain. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach is suitable for the detection of surface defects with arbitrary shapes. Meanwhile, the effects of the depth and width of surface defects on the accuracy of defect reconstruction are investigated. It is noted that the reconstructive error is less than 10%, providing that the defect depth is no more than one half of the pipe thickness.

Surface waves on the periodic boundary of an elastic half space

The existence of free surface waves on the periodic boundary of an elastic half space is established. These waves are a generalization of Rayleigh waves, and they can propagate both along and — at low frequencies and small profile heights — normal to the ridges of the periodic surface (periodic in one direction and constant in the other). It is shown how the wave number depends on the height and shape of the periodic surface, the frequency, and the direction of propagation. To give a further insight into behaviour of the surface waves some computations of surface displacements are given.     

Elastic wave scattering by a three-dimensional inhomogeneity in an elastic half space

In this paper we will consider scattering of elastic waves in a half space. The half space is an isotropic, linear and homogeneous medium except for a finite inhomogeneity. The T-matrix method (also called the “extended boundary condition method” or “null field approach”) is extended to derive expressions for the elastic field inside the half space and the surface field on the interface. The assumptions on the source that excites the half space are fairly weak. In the numerical applications found in this paper we assume a Rayleigh surface wave to be the incoming field, and we only compute the surface displacements. We make illustrations on some simple types of scatterers (spheres and spheroids; the latter ones can be arbitrarily oriented).     

The spreading of nonlinear elastic surface waves

A theory for the lateral spreading of a beam of nonlinear surface acoustic waves across the surface of an arbitrary, homogeneous, elastic half-space is developed. The resulting evolution equation generalizes that obtained for uni-directional waves by replacing an ordinary derivative by a diffusion operator of Schrödinger type. The coefficients arising in the evolution equation are related to partial derivatives of the dispersion relation for linearized surface waves on the half space. Details are given for isotropic materials and for two special cases of beams travelling along axes of high elastic symmetry.

Torsional surface waves in heterogeneous anisotropic half-space under initial stress

The present paper is concerned with the propagation of torsional surface waves in a heterogeneous anisotropic half-space under the initial compressive stress. The heterogeneity in the half-space is caused by the linear variation in rigidity, initial compressive stress and density. The solution part of the problem involves the use of Whittaker function. The dispersion equation has been obtained in a closed form, which shows the variation of phase velocity with corresponding wave number. Effects of anisotropy and initial stress have been shown by the means of graphs for different anisotropic materials. It has found that the phase velocity of torsional waves decreases with increment in initial stress and inhomogeneity. Obtained phase velocity of torsional surface wave is found to be less than the shear wave velocity, which agrees with the standard result.     

Rayleigh waves in an isotropic elastic half-space coated by a thin isotropic elastic layer with smooth contact

In the present paper, we are interested in the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an isotropic elastic half-space coated with a thin isotropic elastic layer. The contact between the layer and the half space is assumed to be smooth. The main purpose of the paper is to establish an approximate secular equation of the wave. By using the effective boundary condition method, an approximate, yet highly accurate secular equation of fourth-order in terms of the dimensionless thickness of the layer is derived. From the secular equation obtained, an approximate formula of third-order for the velocity of Rayleigh waves is established. The approximate secular equation and the formula for the velocity obtained in this paper are potentially useful in many practical applications.
