Special features of oblique wave propagation through the interface of media with dislocations

The mechanisms of propagation of oblique plane harmonic waves through the interface of Voigt and Maxwell viscoelastic media were studied in the context of field theory of defects which describes dislocation continuum dynamics. The defect field waves structure for different displacement wave polarizations was determined. Analytical expressions were derived for the reflection and refraction coefficients of displacement waves and defect field waves propagating in the media. The dependences of Fresnel coefficients on the incidence angle of a primary wave and parameters of the contacting media were analyzed.     

Wave processes in elastic-viscoplastic media with dislocations

The mechanisms of plane harmonic wave propagation in homogeneous and interfaced elastic-viscoplastic media are considered using the field theory of defects with kinematic identities of a dislocation-containing elastic continuum and dynamic equations of the gauge theory of dislocations. The reflection and refraction coefficients were determined for displacement waves and defect field waves with the defect field characterized by the dislocation density tensor and flux density tensor. The dependence of the coefficients on the parameters of the interfaced media is analyzed.     

Scattering phenomenon of qP wave at the interface of FGPM and piezoelectric medium

The present paper aims to investigate the reflection and refraction of quasi-longitudinal (qP) waves at the welded interface between rotating piezoelectric and FGPM half-spaces. The equation of motion and constitutive relations for both the media have been used to derive the expressions for reflection and refraction coefficients for various reflected and transmitted waves. Also, the energy ratios (dependent on incident angle) are calculated. Moreover, the sum of all energy ratios is approximately unity at each value of incident angle which ensures that the law of energy conservation at the interface. Moreover, it is observed that the reflection and refraction coefficients of various reflected and transmitted waves depend not only on the incident angle but also on the material constants of the medium, parameters of the electric potential, initial stress as well as rotation parameters of the two media. A particular case has been deduced to validate the present study. This investigation may have possible applications in the areas of signal processing, transduction, frequency shifting (a change in the velocity of surface waves and controlling the selectivity of a filter compensation) of individual devices.

Reflection and refraction of elastic wave at VTI-TTI media interface

We explore the physical phenomenon of acoustic waves induced at the interface between two different anisotropic rock media.Specifically,one medium is a transversely isotropic medium with a vertical axis of symmetry(VTI medium)and the other one is a transversely isotropic medium with a tilt axis of symmetry(TTI medium).By solving the Kelvin-Christoffel equation,an eighth-order polynomial is established for reflection and refraction angles,which is confirmed from SnelFs law.Three types of analytical expressions of the polarization coefficients of the induced waves are obtained corresponding to different incident angle regions.An effective algorithm has been developed for numerical analysis of the polarization coefficients.Applying characteristic anisotropic parameters reported in the literature,the influencing factors on reflection and refraction coefficients are analyzed,e.g.,the anisotropy,the tilt-angle of rock-layer,and the incident-angle.The calculated reflection and refraction coefficients have been rechecked for energy conservation.     

Reflection and refraction of acoustic waves at the boundary between a magnetoacoustic material and a dielectric

Reflection and refraction of longitudinal and transverse acoustic waves at a plane boundary between an antiferromagnet and a dielectric are studied. The antiferromagnet is assumed to have an easy-plane anisotropy and to be in the state near the orientational phase transition in the magnetic field. A possibility of controlling the angles of the wave-type transformation upon reflection and the refraction angles, as well as all four coefficients of the wave transformation upon reflection and refraction, by the magnetic field is demonstrated. Conditions for the formation of the critical angles of internal reflection and the effect of the magnetic field on their values are specified. A possibility of the radiation of a grazing wave into the material bulk in the vicinity of the phase transition is analyzed.     

Reflection and refraction of acoustic waves from the insulator-magnetoacoustic material interface

The reflection and refraction of longitudinal and transverse acoustic waves by the plane interface between an insulator and an easy-plane antiferromagnet undergoing a magnetic-field-induced orientational phase transition are analyzed. The angles of refraction, as well as all four coefficients of wave conversion, can be effectively controlled by varying the field. Conditions for the appearance of the critical angles of internal reflection and the effect of the magnetic field on these angles are considered. A glancing wave radiated into the material is shown to be a possibility near the phase transition.

Basic equations that describe the conditions of reflection and refraction of bulk acoustic waves at the boundary between acentric crystalline media under uniaxial stress are presented. The effect of uniaxial stress on the anisotropy of reflection and refraction of bulk acoustic waves is numerically analyzed for boundaries of the crystal-vacuum, piezoelectric crystal-piezoelectric crystal, and piezoelectric crystal-elastic isotropic medium types.     

Interaction of ultrasonic wave with void-containing layer in solid

Using a general mode for sound reflection from multilayered media,we present in this paper the expressions for sound reflection and transmissioncoefficients on void-containing interface layer in solid and derive the character-istic equation for symmetric and antisymmetric modes of the interface wavesalong the layer.The method for evaluating the effective elastic moduli ofvoid-containing solid is also introduced.The numerical calculation given in thispaper shows the influences of the void volume concentration and layer thick-ness on the sound reflection coefficients and interface wave velocity,providing atheoretical basis for inverse of the mechanical properties of void-containinglayer based on the ultrasonic measurement.

Reflexion und Brechung des Lichtes an der Grenzebene zwischen zwei anisotropen Medien

Reflection and Refraction of Light at the Boundary Plane between Two Anisotropic Media Relations for the amplitudes in the case of reflection and refraction of plane monochromatic waves at the boundary plane between two arbitrarily anisotropic media are derived from Maxwell equations with invariant methods. Solutions are represented with use of the refraction vectors and of the polarization vectors for the electric field. From the general solution of the problem the following essentially more simple special cases are obtained: 1. normal incidence, 2. optic axis in direction of the incident or reflected wave, 3. parallel and normal polarization of the partial waves in both media relatively to the plane of incidence.     

Anomalous postcritical refraction behavior for certain transversely isotropic media

Snell's law at the boundary between two transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry (VTI media) can be solved by setting up a fourth order polynomial for the sine of the reflection/transmission angles. This approach reveals the possible presence of an anomalous postcritical angle for certain transversely isotropic media. There are thus possibly three incident angle regimes for the reflection/refraction of longitudinal or transverse waves incident upon a VTI medium: precritical, postcritical/preanomalous, and postanomalous. The anomalous angle occurs for certain strongly anisotropic media where the required root to the phase velocity equation must be switched in order to obey Snell's law. The reflection/transmission coefficients, polarization directions, and the phase velocity are all affected by both the anisotropy and the incident angle. The incident critical angles are also effected by the anisotropy.     

Propagation of plane waves through the interface between media with dislocations

The laws of propagation of plane waves in homogeneous media with dislocations in the presence of an interface are considered using the equations of the defect field theory. The reflection coefficients and the refractive indices of displacement waves and the waves of a defect field, which is characterized by a dislocation density tensor and a dislocation flux density tensor, are determined. The dependences of these quantities on the parameters of the adjacent media are analyzed.     

Numerical modeling of the reflection coefficients for the plane sound wave reflection from a layered elastic bottom

The matrix method and its numerical realization are considered in calculating the complex reflection coefficients and refraction indices of plane sound waves for geoacoustic models of the ocean bottom in the form of homogeneous elastic (liquid) absorbing layers overlying an elastic halfspace. In calculating the reflection coefficients at high frequencies or in the presence of a large numbers of sedimentary layers, a passage from the Thomson-Haskell matrix approach to the Dunkin-Thrower computational scheme is performed. The results of test calculations are presented. With the aim of developing resonance methods for the reconstruction of the parameters of layered elastic media, the behavior of the frequency-angular dependences of the reflection coefficient are studied for various geoacoustic bottom models. The structure of the angular and frequency resonances of the reflection coefficients is revealed. The dependence of the structure (the position, width, and amplitude) of two types of resonances on the parameters of the layered bottom is considered.     

Reflexion und Brechung des Lichtes an einer anisotropen Schicht

Reflection and Refraction of Light by an Anisotropic Layer The linear problem of reflection and refraction of plane monochromatic electromagnetic waves by a plane-parallel homogeneous anisotropic layer between (in general different) homogeneous optically isotropic semiinfinite media is treated on the basis of MAXWELL 's equations and the boundary conditions following from them. The permittivity tensor of the anisotropic layer is assumed to be widely arbitrary and therefore asymmetric, neglecting only the spatial dispersion, i. e., the dependence on the wave vector. The electrical fields of reflected, refracted, and transmitted waves are calculated in dependence on the electric field of the incident wave. The conditions for waveguide modes of the layer in the absence of incident waves are obtained from the vanishing of a determinant. The general formulae are specialized to the cases of normal incidence and also of perpendicular and parallel polarisation, relatively to the plane of incidence, of the refracted partial waves in the anisotropic layer thus obtaining simplifications in these cases. The interesting cases of uniaxial layers, when the optic axis lies either parallel or perpendicular to the plane of incidence, belong to the last mentioned special cases of perpendicular and parallel polarisation relatively to the plane of incidence.     

Diffraction of light by ultrasound under the conditions of Fresnel reflection

The features of the Bragg diffraction of light by ultrasound under the conditions of Fresnel reflection from the boundaries of a perturbed layer have been investigated. It has been shown that layers based on acousto-optical gyrotropic crystals perturbed by ultrasound can be used as efficient light modulators. The relative intensities of diffracted waves have been found to be determined by the relation of the refractive indices of adjacent media and by the ultrasound intensity. With an increase in the thickness of the modulated layer, the reflection and transmission coefficients of the first-order diffracted waves achieve their maxima at a lower ultrasound intensity.     

Dynamo-optical effects in a plasma

The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a nonuniformally moving cold electron plasma with no external magnetic field and collisions is considered. The motion is assumed to be stationary. It is shown that in the case of smooth variation of the parameters of the medium the trajectories of the rays in the zero approximation of geometric-optics are determined by the concentration distribution, while the motion leads to rotation of the polarization plane in the wave. For plane-stratified flow with a constant velocity gradient an exact solution of the equations is determined which constitutes the superposition of two independent waves that are elliptically polarized in opposite directions. The refraction law of these waves is found, and the corresponding reflection and penetration coefficients are calculated in the case of a layer having a finite thickness.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 15, No. 2, pp. 183–190, February, 1972.     

Anomalous wave propagation in quasiisotropic media

Based on boundary conditions and dispersion relations, the anomalous propagation of waves incident from regular isotropic media into quasiisotropic media is investigated. It is found that the anomalous negative refraction, anomalous total reflection and oblique total transmission can occur in the interface associated with quasiisotropic media. The Brewster angles of E- and H-polarized waves in quasiisotropic media are also discussed. It is shown that the propagation properties of waves in quasiisotropic media are significantly different from those in isotropic and anisotropic media.
