Reflection for three-dimensional plane waves in triclinic crystalline medium

The propagation of three-dimensional plane waves at a traction free boundary of a half-space composed of triclinic crystalline material is discussed.A method has been developed to find the analytical expressions of all the three phase velocities of quasi-P (qP),quasi-SV(qSV)and quasi-SH(qSH)in three dimensions.Closed form expressions in three dimensions for the amplitude ratios of reflection coefficients of qP,qSV and qSH waves in a triclinic medium are obtained.These expressions are used for numerically studying the variation of the reflection coefficients with the angle of incidence.The graphs are drawn for different polar angle and azimuth.Numerical results presented indicate that the anisotropy affect the reflection coefficients significantly in the three dimensional case compared to the two-dimensional case.     

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.     

Reflection and refraction of plane quasi-longitudinal waves at an interface of two piezoelectric media under initial stresses

This paper is devoted to study a problem of reflection and refraction of quasi-longitudinal waves under initial stresses at an interface of two anisotropic piezoelectric media with different properties. One of the two media is aluminum nitride, which is considered the down piezoelectric medium and the above medium is chosen as PZT-5H ceramics. The two piezoelectric media welded are assumed to be anisotropic of a type of a transversely isotropic crystals (hexagonal crystal structure, class 6 mm). The equations of motion and constitutive relations for the piezoelectric media have been written. Suitable boundary conditions are used to obtain the reflection and refraction coefficients. For an incidence of quasi-longitudinal plane waves, four independent-type amplitude ratios of elastic displacement components for plane waves, called quasi-longitudinal (qP) and quasi-shear vertical (qSV) waves, are shown to exist. Also, it is observed that there exist four dependent amplitude ratios of electric potential, which are proportional to the previous four types. Finally, it is found that the coefficients of reflection and refraction are functions of angle of incidence, elastic constants, piezoelectric potential parameters and the initial stresses. Numerical computations and the results obtained are depicted graphically. In the end, a particular case has been reduced from the present study. This investigation is considered important because the initial stresses in such practical problems are inevitable and may result in frequency shift, a change in the velocity of surface waves and controlling the selectivity of a filter compensation of the devices.     

Wave dynamic processes in cellular detonation reflection from wedges

When the cell width of the incident detonation wave (IDW) is comparable to or larger than the Mach stem height, self-similarity will fail during IDW reflection from a wedge surface. In this paper, the detonation reflection from wedges is investigated for the wave dynamic processes occurring in the wave front, including transverse shock motion and detonation cell variations behind the Mach stem. A detailed reaction model is implemented to simulate two-dimensional cellular detonations in stoichiometric mixtures of H ₂/O ₂ diluted by Argon. The numerical results show that the transverse waves, which cross the triple point trajectory of Mach reflection, travel along the Mach stem and reflect back from the wedge surface, control the size of the cells in the region swept by the Mach stem. It is the energy carried by these transverse waves that sustains the triple-wave-collision with a higher frequency within the over-driven Mach stem. In some cases, local wave dynamic processes and wave structures play a dominant role in determining the pattern of cellular record, leading to the fact that the cellular patterns after the Mach stem exhibit some peculiar modes.

Wave reflection in slightly compressible, finitely deformed elastic media

Summary  In this paper, the reflection of a plane wave at an incrementally traction-free boundary of a half-space composed of nearly incompressible elastic material is considered. It is shown that two distinct cases exist, these being dependent on the underlying primary deformation. In the first case, the appropriate slowness sections are each approximately elliptical, and the corresponding reflection phenomena closely mirrors that associated with the corresponding linear isotropic theory. Specifically, an angular range of direction of incident wave exists, for which both a quasi-longitudinal and quasi-shear wave are reflected, the former being replaced by a surface wave outside this angular range. In the second case, the outer slowness section is re-enrant and, in addition to the scenarios previously mentioned, it is possible for two quasi-shear waves to be reflected. Numerical illustrations of reflection coefficients are presented in respect of a modified Varga material and the case of increasing bulk modulus is investigated.

Reflection and refraction of rays in pre-stressed solids

Rays in viscoelastic, pre-stressed solids are considered. The eikonal equation and the transport equation are derived for both transverse and longitudinal polarizations. The analogue of the standard Snell's law is established. Then the amplitudes of reflected and transmitted rays are determined. The pre-stress is shown to affect the geometry of reflection-refraction processes and the amplitudes of the rays emanating from the interface. Pre-stress effects are also found on traction-free surfaces.

Sommario Si considerano raggi in solidi viscoelastici soggetti ad uno stress iniziale. L'equazione dell'iconale e l'equazione del trasporto sono dedotte sia per polarizzazione trasversale, sia per polarizzazione longitudinale. Stabilita la forma appropriata della legge di Snell, si determinano le ampiezze dei raggi riflessi e trasmessi. Si mostra che lo stress iniziale interviene sia negli angoli sia nelle ampiezze dei raggi reflessi e trasmessi. Effetti dello stress iniziale si presentano persino nel caso di riflessione sulla superficie libera di un semispazio.

     

Wave propagation in fractured porous media

A theory of wave propagation in fractured porous media is presented based on the double-porosity concept. The macroscopic constitutive relations and mass and momentum balance equations are obtained by volume averaging the microscale balance and constitutive equations and assuming small deformations. In microscale, the grains are assumed to be linearly elastic and the fluids are Newtonian. Momentum transfer terms are expressed in terms of intrinsic and relative permeabilities assuming the validity of Darcy's law in fractured porous media. The macroscopic constitutive relations of elastic porous media saturated by one or two fluids and saturated fractured porous media can be obtained from the constitutive relations developed in the paper. In the simplest case, the final set of governing equations reduce to Biot's equations containing the same parameters as of Biot and Willis.Now at Izmir Institute of Technology, Anafartalar Cad. 904, Basmane 35230, Izmir, Turkey.     

Influence of imperfect bonding on the reflection and transmission of QP-wave at the interface of two functionally graded piezoelectric materials

This paper studies the reflection and transmission of two dimensional quasi P wave incident at an imperfect interface between two dissimilar Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Materials (FGPM) half-spaces. The imperfect bonding behavior between the two considered half-spaces is described by the interfacial imperfections. The imperfection is characterized by the normal stiffness and tangential stiffness using the linear spring model. These interface parameters (i.e normal stiffness and tangential stiffness) are dependent on the elastic properties of interphase. Secular equations have been derived analytically for both the half-spaces. Different cases of imperfect interfaces namely perfect interface, slip interface, weak bonding interface and unbounded interface have been assumed and discussed. Influence of material gradients on the reflection and transmission coefficients (RTC’s) have been inflicted graphically for all the four considered interface conditions. Further, a comparative study of the RTC’s with respect to the incident angle has been carried out for the different cases of imperfections. The obtained results may be useful for measuring imperfection at the interface and designing of SAW devices.

The effect of anisotropic permeability on free convective boundary layer flow in porous media

The effect of an anisotropic permeability on thermal boundary layer flow in porous media is studied. The convective flow is induced by a vertical, uniformly heated surface embedded in a fluid-saturated medium. A leading-order boundary layer theory is presented. It is shown that the thickness of the resulting boundary layer flow is different from that obtained in an isotropic porous medium. In general, an anisotropic permeability induces a fluid drift in the spanwise direction, the strength of which depends on the precise nature of the anisotropy. Conditions are found which determine whether or not the boundary layer flow is three-dimensional.     

Application of generalised effective-medium theory to transport in porous media

The use of effective-medium treatments to estimate bulk properties pertaining to transport (of, for example, fluids, heat, particles or electricity) through random composite media (such as reservoir rocks), is widespread. This is because they are relatively simple, often reasonably accurate (on occasion, remarkably so) and in many cases yield closed-form expressions for the properties concerned. However, the single-bond effective-medium treatment (EMT) of random resistor networks that has been used to determine transport coefficients for various transport problems in pore networks is limited to some special isotropic networks with nearest-neighbour connections. We demonstrate here that transport through two different fracture system models, with stress-induced anisotropy, can be treated using an EMT originally applied to anisotropic resistor networks. The main purpose of the present contribution, however, is to present a new, more general effective medium formalism applicable to networks of arbitrary topology. This new generalised EMT is used to obtain a new criterion for percolation of an arbitrary conducting network under random dilution. A specific application to unsaturated flow through a pore network with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbour connections is also given.     

Seismic Wave Propagation in Composite Elastic Media

It has been known since the time of Biot–Gassman theory (Biot, J Acoust Soc Am 28:168–178, 1956, Gassmann, Naturf Ges Zurich 96:1–24, 1951) that additional seismic waves are predicted by a multicomponent theory. It is shown in this article that if the second or third phase is also an elastic medium then multiple p and s waves are predicted. Futhermore, since viscous dissipation no longer appears as an attenuation mechanism and the media are perfectly elastic, these waves propagate without attenuation. As well, these additional elastic waves contain information about the coupling of the elastic solids at the pore scale. Attempts to model such a medium as a single elastic solid causes this additional information to be misinterpreted. In the limit as the shear modulus of one of the solids tends to zero, it is shown that the equations of motion become identical to the equations of motion for a fluid filled porous medium when the viscosity of the fluid becomes zero. In this limit, an additional dilatational wave is predicted, which moves the fluid though the porous matrix much similar to a heart pumping blood through a body. This allows for a connection with studies which have been done on fluid-filled porous media (Spanos, 2002).     

Wave trapping by porous barrier in the presence of step type bottom

The present study deals with the trapping of oblique wave by porous barrier located near a rigid wall in the presence of a step type bottom bed. The solution of the physical problem is obtained using the eigenfunction expansion method and multi-mode approximation associated with modified mild-slope equation. Assuming that the porous structure is made of materials having fine pores, the mathematical problem is handled for solution by matching the velocity and pressure at interface boundaries. Various numerical results are computed and analyzed to understand the role of bed profiles, structural porosity, depth ratio, oblique angle of incidence, distance between barrier and step edge and, the distance between the porous barrier and rigid wall in optimizing wave reflection and load on the structure/rigid-wall. A comparison of results on wave trapping by porous barriers over flat and undulated bed reveals that for the same distance between the porous barrier and rigid wall, more number of times optimum reflection occurs in case of undulated bed. The present study is likely to be of immense importance in the design of coastal structures for protecting coastal infrastructures.     

Characteristic analysis for stress wave propagation in transversely isotropic fluid-saturated porous media

According to generalized characteristic theory, a characteristic analysis for stress wave propagation in transversely isotropic fluid-saturated porous media was performed. The characteristic differential equations and compatibility relations along bicharacteristics were deduced and the analytical expressions for wave surfaces were obtained. The characteristic and shapes of the velocity surfaces and wave surfaces in the transversely isotropic fluid-saturated porous media were discussed in detail. The results also show that the characteristic equations for stress waves in pure solids are particular cases of the characteristic equations for fluid-saturated porous media.     

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.     

A Numerical Method for Wave Propagation in Viscoelastic Stratified Porous Media

This paper presents a numerical method, a transmission matrix method, for the wave propagation in viscoelastic stratified saturated porous media. The wave propagation in saturated media, based on Biot theory, is a coupled problem. In this stratified three-dimensional model we do the Laplace transform for the time variable and the Fourier transform for the horizontal space coordinate. The original problem is transformed into ordinary differential equations with six independent unknown variables, which are only the function of the coordinate of depth. Thus, we get a transmission matrix of the wave problem for each layer. In the process of solution we use numerical method to calculate the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the transmission matrices. In the first step of the solution process we can obtain the wave field in the transformed space. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) method is used to do the inverse Laplace and the inverse Fourier transforms to get the solution in the time space. The detailed formulae are derived and some numerical examples are given.

Acoustoelectric shear body waves in periodically layered metallized piezodielectric media

The paper proposes a technique to derive the dispersion relations for acoustoelastic shear body waves propagating in periodically layered media formed of identical metallized sandwiches, each consisting of two different piezoelectric layers and a dielectric layer between them. A numerical analysis is carried out and the propagation of body waves in different structures is described for a wide range of frequencies and wave numbers. The effect of the physical, mechanical, and geometrical parameters of the layers on the transmission and suppression bands is examined. The influence of the piezoeffect on the arrangement of the transmission edges upon change in the relative thickness of the layers is studied __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 7, pp. 61–67, July 2008.     

Propagation,reflection, and transmission of SH-waves in slightly compressible,finitely deformed elastic media

The propagation, reflection, and transmission of SH waves in slightly compressible, finitely deformed elastic media are considered in this paper. The dispersion relation for SH-wave propagation in slightly compressible, finitely deformed layer overlying a slightly compressible, finitely deformed half-space is derived. The present paper also deals with the reflection and refraction (transmission) phenomena due to the SH wave incident at the plane interface between two distinct slightly compressible, finitely deformed elastic media. The closed form expressions for the amplitude ratios of reflection and refraction coefficients of the reflected and refracted SH waves are obtained from suitable boundary conditions. For the numerical discussions, we consider the Neo-Hookean form of a strain energy function. The phase speed curves, the variations of reflection, and transmission coefficients with the angle of incidence, and the plots of the slowness sections are presented by means of graphs.
