Specificity of the phenomenon of acoustoelasticity in a two-dimensional internally structured medium

A two-dimensional model of a microstructured medium is considered in the form of a square lattice consisting of elastically interacting circular particles with translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The interactions between the particles are modeled by a set of elastic springs. Differential equations are derived to describe the propagation and interaction of acoustic waves in such a medium. The relation between the velocities of wave propagation and the small strain arising in the structure under external action is determined. Analytical expressions that determine the difference between the squares of the velocities of both longitudinal and shear waves propagating in two mutually perpendicular directions in a medium with an externally induced anisotropy are derived and analyzed.     

Theory of periodic and solitary space charge waves in extrinsic semiconductors

We present a theory of the existence and stability of traveling periodic and solitary space charge wave solutions to a standard rate equation model of electrical conduction in extrinsic semiconductors which includes effects of field-dependent impurity impact ionization. A nondimensional set of equations is presented in which the small parameter β = (dielectric relaxation time) / (characteristic impurity time) 1 plays a crucial role for our singular perturbation analysis. For a narrow range of wave velocities a phase plane analysis gives a set of limit cycle orbits corresponding to periodic traveling waves. while for a unique value of wave velocity we find a homoclinic orbit corresponding to a moving solitary space charge wave of the type experimentally observed in p-type germanium. A linear stability analysis reveals all waves to be unstable under current bias on the infinite one-dimensional line. Finally, we conjecture that solitary waves may be stable in samples of finite length under voltage bias.     

Phase velocities of plane waves in a pipe with a flow whose velocity varies along the radius

The phase velocities of plane waves in a pipe filled with a moving acoustic medium are studied for different laws of flow velocity variation along the pipe radius. The wave equation is solved by the discretization method, which breaks the entire pipe volume into individual cylinders under the assumption that, within each of the cylinders, the flow velocity of the medium is constant. This approach makes it possible to reduce the solution to the wave problem to solving Helmholtz equations for individual cylinders. Based on boundary conditions satisfied at the boundaries between neighboring cylinders, a homogeneous system of linear algebraic equations is obtained. From this system, with the use of the scattering matrices, a simple dispersion equation is derived for determining the phase velocities of plane waves. The stability of the numerical solution to the dispersion equation with respect to the number of cylinders is investigated. The phase velocities of quasi-homogeneous and inhomogeneous waves in a pipe are numerically calculated and analyzed for different velocities of a moving medium and different laws of flow velocity variation along the radius. It is shown that the variation that occurs in the phase velocity of a homogeneous plane wave in a pipe due to the motion of the medium is identical to the mean flow velocity for different laws of flow velocity variation along the radius. For inhomogeneous plane waves, the phase velocity increment exceeds the mean flow velocity several times and depends on both the law of wave amplitude distribution along the radius and the law of the flow velocity variation along the radius.

On the scarcity of solutions of the equations of magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with flow

While particular analytic solutions to the equations of axisymmetric MHD equilibria with flow are known, it is not clear what possible choosing of the free parameters of the equation of the magnetic flux will yield a solution. The most important of these is the poloidal stream function. We show that for a given flow to be able to yield an equilibrium, the flow itself must satisfy an analogous equation to the generalized Grad-Shafranov one. The problem therefore turns out to be how common are solutions to this type of equations. It is shown that in a natural space of functions, the set of these solutions is contained within a manifold of infinite codimension: extremely small by any criteria. Hence the class of flows for which an equilibrium, even defined only locally and irrespective of boundary conditions, may be found, is highly constrained.

Integrable models for the dynamics of a longitudinal-transverse acoustic wave in a crystal with paramagnetic impurities

We theoretically study the evolution of longitudinal-transverse acoustic pulses propagating parallel to an external magnetic field in a system of resonant paramagnetic impurities with an effective spin S=1/2. For equal group velocities of the longitudinal and transverse waves, the pulse dynamics is shown to be described by evolution equations. In limiting cases, these equations reduce to equations integrable in terms of the inverse scattering transform method (ISTM). For the most general integrable system of equations that describes the dynamics of acoustic pulses outside the scope of the slow-envelope approximation, we derive the corresponding ISTM equations. These equations are used to find a soliton solution and a self-similar solution. The latter describes the leading edge of the packet of acoustic pulses generated when the initial unstable state of a spin system decays. Analysis of our solutions and models indicates that the presence of a longitudinal acoustic wave leads not only to a change in the amplitude and phase of the transverse wave but also to a qualitatively new dynamics of sound in such a medium.     

Localization of electromagnetic and acoustic waves in random media. Lattice models

We consider lattice versions of Maxwell's equations and of the equation that governs the propagation of acoustic waves in a random medium. The vector nature of electromagnetic waves is fully taken into account. The medium is assumed to be a small perturbation of a periodic one. We prove rigorously that localized eigenstates arise in a vicinity of the edges of the gaps in the spectrum. A key ingredient is a new Wegner-type estimate for a class of lattice operators with off-diagonal disorder.     

Statistical equilibrium solutions of the shallow water equations

A statistical method for calculating equilibrium solutions of the shallow water equations, a model of essentially 2D fluid flow with a free surface, is described. The model contains a competing acoustic turbulent direct energy cascade, and a 2D turbulent inverse energy cascade. It is shown, nonetheless that, just as in the corresponding theory of the inviscid Euler equation, the infinite number of conserved quantities constrains the flow sufficiently to produce nontrivial large-scale vortex structures which are solutions to a set of explicitly derived coupled nonlinear partial differential equations.     

Identification of nanocrystalline media by acoustic spectroscopy methods

The problem of parametric identification of a two-dimensional nanocrystalline medium consisting of circular particles arranged in a hexagonal lattice is considered. Differential equations are derived that describe propagation of acoustic and rotational waves in this medium. It is shown that, due to dispersion dependencies, microstructure parameters and moduli of elasticity of the nanocrystalline medium can be estimated from measured wave propagation velocities.     

Oscillations of a three-component assembly with or without magnetic field

The plasma is taken to be composed of singly ionized molecules, free electrons and neutral molecules, each of the component being described by the hydromagnetic equations, modified to take into account the displacement current, existence of free charge in the medium, and the modified current equation without involving the scalar conductivity. The basic equations are linearized and only small amplitude waves are considered. In the absence of any external magnetic field, the transverse and longitudinal modes of oscillation separate out. In the transverse part a coupled plasma oscillation occurs which could be propagated only above a certain critical frequency and in the longitudinal part one extraordinary mode of propagation occurs having a forbidden range of frequencies. When there is an external applied magnetic field, ordinary and extraordinary waves are propagated along the direction of the magnetic field, whereas only ordinary waves are propagated transverse to the magnetic field. The critical frequencies above which these waves are propagated are evaluated and, the possible explanation of this medium like behaviour could be the implicit assumption of conductivity being not a scalar.     

Galerkin methods for natural frequencies of high-speed axially moving beams

In this paper, natural frequencies of planar vibration of axially moving beams are numerically investigated in the supercritical ranges. In the supercritical transport speed regime, the straight equilibrium configuration becomes unstable and bifurcate in multiple equilibrium positions. The governing equations of coupled planar is reduced to two nonlinear models of transverse vibration. For motion about each bifurcated solution, those nonlinear equations are cast in the standard form of continuous gyroscopic systems by introducing a coordinate transform. The natural frequencies are investigated for the beams via the Galerkin method to truncate the corresponding governing equations without nonlinear parts into an infinite set of ordinary-differential equations under the simple support boundary. Numerical results indicate that the nonlinear coefficient has little effects on the natural frequency, and the three models predict qualitatively the same tendencies of the natural frequencies with the changing parameters and the integro-partial-differential equation yields results quantitatively closer to those of the coupled equations.     

Numerical modeling of shock-wave instability in thermodynamically nonideal media

A numerical analysis of the nonlinear instability of shock waves is presented for solid deuterium and for a model medium described by a properly constructed equation of state. The splitting of an unstable shock wave into an absolutely stable shock and a shock that emits acoustic waves is simulated for the first time.     

Wave propagation and vibration response of a periodically supported pipe conveying fluid

Propagation of free harmonic waves, in a periodically supported infinite pipe, has been studied. The presence of the Coriolis term in the equation of motion renders the phase velocity different for the positive and the negative going waves. Hence no classical normal modes (in the sense of standing modes) exist. Natural frequencies of a periodically supported finite pipe have been obtained by using the wave approach. The response of the infinite pipe to a convected harmonic pressure field has also been obtained. Owing to the difference in the phase velocities of the positive and the negative going free waves, the coincidence frequency depends on the direction of the convected loading. The static buckling or the divergence instability of such pipes has also been considered from the wave approach.     

Dynamics of a longitudinal-and-transverse acoustic wave in a crystal with paramagnetic impurities

The evolution of longitudinal-and-transverse acoustic pulses propagating along an external magnetic field through a system of resonant paramagnetic impurities with effective spin S=1/2 is studied theoretically. It is shown that, when the group velocities of longitudinal and transverse waves are equal and the impurity concentration is sufficiently small, the initial system of equations is reduced to new evolution equations, which are integrable within the framework of the inverse scattering problem approach. These equations qualitatively describe the new coherent dynamics of acoustic pulses.     

Shear-horizontal waves in a rotated Y-cut quartz plate in contact with a viscous fluid

We study shear-horizontal (SH) waves in a crystal plate of rotated Y-cut quartz in contact with a semi-infinite viscous fluid. The crystal plate and the fluid are governed by the equations of anisotropic elasticity and the theory of Newtonian fluids. A transcendental equation that determines the dispersion relations of the waves is obtained. Approximate analytical solutions to the equation are presented for the case of low viscosity fluids and the case of long waves whose wavelength is much larger than the plate thickness. The effects of the fluid viscosity and density on the dispersion relations of the waves are examined. The results obtained are fundamental and useful to the understanding and design of acoustic wave fluid sensors for measuring fluid viscosity or density.     

Acoustic identification of the anisotropic nanocrystalline medium with non-dense packing of particles

A two-dimensional model of the anisotropic nanocrystalline (granular) medium being a rectangular lattice of elastically interacting elliptical particles with translational and rotational degrees of freedom was considered. In the long-wave approximation a system of linear equations in partial derivatives describing the propagation of the longitudinal, transverse, and rotational waves in such a system was obtained. The dependences of the wave velocities on the grain size and form were analyzed. It was shown how to determine the moduli of elasticity of the granular material from the change of the velocities of the acoustic waves propagating along different crystallographic directions.     

Acoustic identification of nanocrystalline media

Two-dimensional (2D) models of nanocrystalline media with close proximity (a hexagonal lattice) and with non-dense packing (a square lattice) are considered in this paper. It is supposed that particles have a round shape and possess two translational and one rotational degrees of freedom. The differential equations describing the propagation of acoustic and rotational waves in such media have been derived. Analytical relationships between the macroelasticity constants of the medium and microstructure parameters have been found. These relationships appear to be different for nanocrystalline media with hexagonal and square lattices. It has been shown that identification of macroparameters of a nanocrystalline medium can be obtained by measurement of wave velocities and the form of dispersion dependences of acoustic and rotational waves.

Two-dimensional analysis of the effect of an electrode layer on surface acoustic waves in a finite anisotropic plate

The effect of a metal layer over an elastic substrate on surface acoustic wave propagating in the structure can be evaluated precisely for semi-infinite solids and infinite plates, but there is no accurate analytical solution if the finite size of the plate has to be considered. By expanding displacements with eigensolutions of surface acoustic waves in a semi-inifite solid, a set of two-dimensional equations similar to the Mindlin plate theory are obtained. Then for a thin electrode layer, the effect is considered through the approximation of displacements in the metal layer with the ones in the substrate, and an integration over the thickness incorporated the properties of the metal layer into equations through the modification of material properties with the decaying indices of surface acoustic waves and the thickness of the metal layer. Using AT-cut quartz crystal as the substrate, we present the effect of silver electrode layers of finite thickness on the phase velocity of propagating surface acoustic waves.
