Remarks on the Born approximation and the Factorization Method

In this paper, we compare the far-field operators for the full nonlinear inverse scattering problem with the Born approximation as its linearization. The Factorization Method shows that both operators share the same behavior with respect to illposedness of the inverse problem. The results are derived for acoustic and electromagnetic scattering problems and the corresponding problem in electrical impedance tomography.     

Computation of waveguide scattering matrix near thresholds

A waveguide occupies infinite strip with one or several narrows on a two-dimensional (2D) plane and is governed by the Helmholtz equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. On the waveguide continuous spectrum, which coincides with a half-axis, a scattering matrix is defined. At each point of the continuous spectrum this matrix has finite size, which changes at thresholds. The thresholds form a sequence of positive numbers increasing to infinity. Approximate calculation of the scattering matrix in a threshold vicinity requires special treatment. We discuss and compare two methods of numerical approximation to the scattering matrix near a threshold.     

Uniqueness in potential scattering with reduced data

We consider inverse potential scattering problems where the source of the incident waves is located on a smooth closed surface outside of the inhomogeneity of the media. The scattered waves are measured on the same surface at a fixed value of the energy. We show that these data determine the bounded potential uniquely.

MULTIPLE SCATTERING AND DYNAMIC STRESS ANALYSIS OF ELASTIC WAVES IN A FIBER—REINFORCED COMPOSITE WITH INTERFACES

Based on the theory of elastic dynamics, multiple scattering of elastic waves and dynamic stress concentrations in fiber-reinforced composite are studied. The analytical expressions of elastic waves in different regions are presented. The mode coefficients of elastic waves are determined in accordance with the continuous conditions of displacement and stress on the boundary of the multi-interfaces. By using the addition theorem of Hankel functions, the formula of scattered wave fields in different local coordinates are transformed into those in one local coordinate to determine the unknown coefficients and dynamic stress concentration factors (DSCFs). The influences of the distance between two inclusions, material properties and structural size on the DSCFs near the interfaces are analyzed. As examples, the numerical results of DSCFs near the interfaces for two kinds of fiber-reinforced composites are presented and discussed.

浅埋的圆柱形孔洞对SH波的散射与地震动

研究了浅埋的圆柱形孔洞对以任意方向入射的平面SH波的散射与地震动问题。利用复变函数和多极坐标方法构造了问题的位移解。当入射波的波长与圆孔的半径相比较小时,地震动将受到较大的影响。影响地震动有三个主要参数:(1)SH波的入射角0;(2)入射波波数,即圆柱形孔洞的半径与入射波半波长之比;(3)h/R,即圆柱形孔洞至表面的距离与圆孔半径之比。当较大时,地震动幅值变化激烈,位移幅值可出现跳动和放大的现象。当h/R增大至10～12时,位移幅值变化恢复至半空间的情况,表明圆柱形孔洞的影响可被忽略。     

Temperature spectra from a turbulent thermal plume by ultrasound scattering

This paper reports the results of a study on temperature inhomogeneities conducted on a thermal plume by using ultrasound scattering as a non-intrusive measurement technique. The plume rises from a metallic disk which can be heated up to 800 °C. The working fluid is air at atmospheric pressure. In the measurement technique, an incoming ultrasound wave is emitted towards the thermal plume. The incident wave is scattered because of non-linear couplings with the flow instabilities present in the measurement region. The scattered wave carries information about those flow instabilities. The technique allows for the retrieving of this information. The shape of the obtained spectrum of temperature fluctuations as a function of wave vector modulus is consistent with previous theoretical analysis. Three qualitatively different regions were identified: first, a production region characterized by a q² law; secondly, a region with behavior as per q⁻³ associated with a buoyancy region and; finally, a dissipation region associated with a q⁻⁷ law. These spectral regions characterize the energy transfers mechanisms among the length scales of flow investigated here. A coefficient of anisotropy γ was defined to analyze anisotropic features of the flow.     

Unsteady Radiative–Convective Heat Transfer in a Flow Emitting‐Absorbing and Scattering Medium around an Ablating Plate

A conjugate problem of radiative–convective heat transfer in a turbulent hightemperature gasdisperse flow around a thermally thin ablating plate is considered. The plate experiences intense radiative heating by an external source, which is a blackbody. The temperature fields and the distributions of heat fluxes along the plate under unsteady conditions are calculated. The data gained make it possible to examine the effect of the Stark number and phasetransition heat in the plate material on the time evolution of the thermal state of the boundarylayer medium and the plate itself being heated by a hightemperature radiation source.     

二维直角平面内固定圆形夹杂对稳态入射反平面剪切波的散射

利用复变函数法、多极坐标及傅立叶级数展开技术求解了二维直角平面内固定圆形夹杂对稳态入射反平面剪切（shearing horizontal, SH）波的散射问题。首先构造出介质内不存在夹杂时的入射波场和反射波场,然后建立介质内存在夹杂时由夹杂边界产生的能够自动满足直角边应力自由条件的散射波解，从而利用叠加原理写出介质内的总波场。利用夹杂边界处位移条件和傅立叶级数展开方法列出求解散射波中未知系数的无穷代数方程组，在满足计算精度的前提下通过有限项截断，得到相应有限代数方程组的解，最后通过算例具体讨论了二维直角平面水平边界点的位移幅度比和相位随量纲一波数、入射波入射角及夹杂位置的不同而变化的情况，结果表明了算法的有效实用性。
