One-dimensional linear elastic waves at moving property interface

Smart materials exhibit time-varying properties while time-varying external field is applied. To investigate the one-dimensional (1-D) homogeneous time-varying properties, a moving property interface (MPI) model is proposed, and the propagation of linear elastic waves at 1-D MPI is studied in this paper. Based on the idea of weak solutions and an infinity approximation, a novel method to deal with the difficulties in using the continuities to study the waves at MPI is also proposed. Some interesting phenomena are revealed: (i) besides wave impedance, the property interface motion and wave velocity are also very important factors that influence the wave propagation; (ii) at MPI, there may exist shock waves; (iii) the property interface motion has a significant impact on the wave frequency and energy. This research provides a theoretical viewpoint in the study of smart materials with a time-dependent mechanical properties at different loading conditions.     

An experimental investigation of shock wave propagation in periodically layered composites

In heterogeneous media, scattering due to interfaces/microstructure between dissimilar materials could play an important role in shock wave dissipation and dispersion. In this work, the influence of interface scattering on finite-amplitude shock waves was experimentally investigated by impacting flyer plates onto periodically layered polycarbonate/6061 aluminum, polycarbonate/304 stainless steel and polycarbonate/glass composites. Experimental results (obtained using velocity interferometer and stress gage) show that these periodically layered composites can support steady structured shock waves. Due to interface scattering, the effective shock viscosity increases with the increase of interface impedance mismatch, and decreases with the increase of interface density (interface area per unit volume) and loading amplitude. For the composites studied here, the strain rate within the shock front is roughly proportional to the square of the shock stress. This indicates that layered composites have much larger shock viscosity due to the interface/microstructure scattering in comparison with the increase of shock strain rate by the fourth power of the shock stress for homogeneous metals. Experimental results also show that due to the scattering effects, shock propagation in the layered composites is dramatically slowed down and the shock speed in composites can be lower than that either of its components.     

Dispersion relations and mode shapes for waves in laminated viscoelastic composites by variational methods

The propagation of oscillatory waves through periodic elastic composites has been analysed on the basis of the Floquet theory. This leads to self-adjoint differential equation systems which it was proved convenient to solve by variational methods. Many composites, such as the light-weight high-strength boron-epoxy material, consist of strong reinforcing components in a plastic matrix. The latter can exhibit viscoelastic properties which can have a significant influence on wave propagation characteristics. Replacement of the elastic constant by the viscoelastic complex modulus changes the mathematical structure so that the differential equation system is no longer self-adjoint. However, a modification of the variational principles is suggested which retains formal self-adjointness, and yields variational principles which contain additional boundary terms. These are applied to the determination of wave speeds and mode shapes for a laminated composite made of homogeneous elastic reinforcing plates in a homogeneous viscoelastic matrix for plane waves propagating normally to the reinforcing plates. These results agree well with the exact solution which can be evaluated in this simple case. The variational principles permit solutions for periodic, but otherwise arbitrary variation of material properties.     

Wave Propagation Parallel to the Layers in Elastic or Viscoelastic Layered Composites

Transient waves propagating parallel to the layers in a linear elastic or viscoelastic layered composite are studied. A step load in time is applied at the boundary x = 0 and the head-of-the-pulse asymptotic solution is obtained for large x and large time t. For viscoelastic composites the interaction between the dissipation and the dispersion is controlled by a parameter γ that contains the material mismatch of the layers and the distance: propagated by the waves. As the distance increases, so does γ, and the oscillatory response diminishes. For elastic composites, we show how the oscillatory response depends on the mismatch of the material properties and the thicknesses of the layers. We show that there are composites other than the one with zero mismatch for which the oscillatory response is almost nonexistent.     

Wave fronts in elastic media with temperature dependent properties

This paper deals with the propagation of shock and acceleration wave fronts in elastic media with temperature dependent properties. The partial differential equations governing the evolution of such waves are derived and solved using the method of Charpit. Solutions for wave front propagation in a thermoelastic layer with exponentially temperature dependent properties are obtained.     

Shock wave propagation through a model one dimensional heterogeneous medium

We study the problem of impact-induced shock wave propagation through a model one-dimensional heterogeneous medium. This medium is made of a model material with spatially varying parameters such that it is heterogeneous to shock waves but homogeneous to elastic waves. Using the jump conditions and maximal dissipation criteria, we obtain the exact solution to the shock propagation problem. We use it to study how the nature of the heterogeneity changes material response, the structure of the shock front and the dissipation.     

Lagrangian description of transport equations for shock waves in three-dimensional elastic solids

A set of transport equations for the growth or decay of theamplitudes of shock waves along an arbitrary propagation directionin three-dimensional nonlinear elastic solids is derived using theLagrangian coordinates.The transport equations obtained showthat the time derivative of the amplitude of a shock wave alongany propagation ray depends on (i) an unknown quantity immediatelybehind the shock wave,(ii) the two principal curvatures of theshock surface,(iii) the gradient taken on the shock surface ofthe normal shock wave speed and (iv) the inhomogeneous term.whichis related to the motion ahead of the shock surface.vanisheswhen the motion ahead of the shock surface is uniform.Severalchoices of the propagation vector are given for which the tran-sport equations can be simplified.Some universal relations,which relate the time derivatives of various jump quantities toeach other but which do not depend on the constitutive equationsof the material,are also presented.     

Experimental investigation of converging shocks in water with various confinement materials

Fluid-solid coupling typically plays a negligible role in confined converging shocks in gases because of the rigidity of the surrounding material and large acoustic impedance mismatch of wave propagation between it and the gas. However, this is not true for converging shocks in a liquid. In the latter case, the coupling can not be ignored and properties of the surrounding material have a direct influence on wave propagation. In shock focusing in water confined in a solid convergent geometry, the shock in the liquid transmits to the solid and both transverse and longitudinal waves propagate in the solid. Shock focusing in water for three types of confinement materials has been studied experimentally with schlieren and photoelasticity optical techniques. A projectile from a gas gun impacts a liquid contained in a solid convergent geometry. The impact produces a shock wave in water that develops even higher pressure when focused in the vicinity of the apex. Depending on the confining material, the shock speed in the water can be slower, faster, or in between wave speeds in the solid. For solid materials with higher wave speeds than the shock in water, regions in the water is put in tension and cavitation occurs. Materials with slower wave speeds will deform easily.     

Analysis of nonlinear acoustoelastic effect of surface acoustic waves in laminated structures by transfer matrix method

The propagation of surface acoustic waves in a layered half-space is investigated in this paper, where a thin cubic Ge film is perfectly bonded to an isotropic elastic Si half-space. Application of the transfer matrix and by solving the coupled field equations, solutions to the mechanical displacements are obtained for the film and elastic substrate, respectively. The phase velocity equations for surface acoustic waves are obtained. Effects of the homogeneous initial stresses induced by the mismatch of the film and substrate are discussed in detail. The results are useful for the design of acoustic surface wave devices.

The propagation of elastic stress waves in a conical shell under axial impulsive loading

The propagation of elastic stress waves in a conical shell subjected to axial impulsive loading is studied in this paper by means of the finite element calculation and model experiments. It is shown that there are two axisymmetrical elastic stress waves propagating with different velocities, i.e., the longitudinal wave and the bending wave. The attenuation of these waves while propagating along the shell surface is discussed. It is found in experiments that the bending wave is also generated when a longitudinal wave reflects from the fixed end of the shell, and both reflected waves will separate during the propagation due to their different velocities.

Resonance in Polyurea-Based Multilayer Structures Subjected to Laser-Generated Stress Waves

We report resonance associated with polyurea layers sandwiched between identical acrylic and polycarbonate plates when subjected to laser-generated stress waves of several nanoseconds in duration. Transmitted stress wave amplitudes almost 16 times the incident stress wave amplitudes are observed. An elastodynamics simulation identified the thickness of the polyurea layer as the key parameter controlling the amplitude of the transmitted stress wave. This resonance effect was found absent when the polyurea was sandwiched between the steel and aluminum plates of similar thickness. However, for these samples, a dramatic reduction in the amplitudes of the transmitted stress waves was recorded. A finite element analysis of the wave propagation through the sandwiched polyurea layer in these samples tied the large amplitude reduction to the large acoustic impedance mismatch and the viscoelastic dissipation within the polyurea layer.     

On the propagation of generalized transverse waves in heat-conducting elastic materials

A generalized transverse wave is a propagating acceleration discontinuity on which the temperature and the entropy, together with their gradients, are continuous. In a heat-conducting elastic material the propagation and growth of such waves are uninfluenced by thermomechanical interaction. It is shown in this paper that in any given plane there is at least one direction in which a generalized transverse wave may propagate, and the existence is also proved of at least one direction in which a pair of generalized transverse waves may travel. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the speeds of propagation of these waves to be real. Relationships between transverse and generalized transverse waves are also studied, and in the last two sections of the paper the directions in which generalized transverse waves may propagate in an isotropic heat-conducting elastic material are systematically worked out and classified.     

Love waves in functionally graded piezoelectric materials

To investigate the features of Love waves in a layered functionally graded piezoelectric structure, the mathematical model is established on the basis of the elastic wave theory, and the WKB method is applied to solve the coupled electromechanical field differential equation. The solutions of the mechanical displacement and electrical potential function are obtained for the piezoelectric layer and elastic substrate. The dispersion relations of Love waves are deduced for electric open and short cases on the free surface respectively. The actual piezoelectric layer–elastic substrate systems are taken into account, and some corresponding numerical examples are proposed comparatively. Thus, the effects of the gradient variation about material constants on the phase velocity, the group velocity, the coupled electromechanical factor and the cutoff frequency are discussed in detail. So the propagation behaviors of Love waves in inhomogeneous medium is revealed, and the dispersion and the anti-dispersion are analyzed. The conclusions are significant both theoretically and practically for the surface acoustic wave devices.

Spectral element technique for efficient parameter identification of layered media. Part III: viscoelastic aspects

This article addresses the issues of wave propagation in elastic–viscoelastic layered systems and viscous parameter identification from non-destructive dynamic tests. A methodology that combines the spectral element technique, for the simulation of wave propagation, with the differential operator technique, for stress–strain relationship in viscoelastic materials, is adopted. The compatibility between the two techniques stems from the fact that both can be treated in the frequency domain, which enables naturally the adoption of Fourier superposition. The mathematical formulation of spectral elements for Burger's viscoelastic material model is highlighted. Also, an inverse procedure for the identification of the material's Young's moduli and complex moduli for layer systems is described. It is shown that the proposed methodology enables the substitution of an expensive laboratory testing procedure for the determination of material complex moduli with non-destructive dynamic testing.     

Simple waves in general elastic materials

The general theory of simple waves in Green-elastic and Cauchy-elastic materials is given. Such waves generate three-dimensional unsteady deformations. Boundary conditions producing such waves are derived together with conditions under which shocks occur. The theory is used to illustrate conditions behind acceleration fronts moving into homogeneously deformed regions and also the modes of propagation of fronts moving into a simple wave. The steady flow of an elastic material past a rigid developable surface is discussed. Simple waves which are principal waves are also discussed.     

Early short time transient response of finite L-shaped Mindlin plate

The early short time transient response of an L-shaped plate is investigated by the method of reverberation ray matrix (MRRM) and the generalized ray method (GRM). The MRRM and GRM have been successfully used to study the transient elastic wave transmitting in the beams, planar trusses, space frames and infinite layered media. In the present paper, these two methods are extended to investigate the flexural wave propagation in a finite L-shaped Mindlin plate. The reverberation-ray matrix representing the multi-reflected and scattered waves in the L-shaped plate is presented. The rays in the GRM propagating in the L-shaped plate are determined by the shock source and the boundary conditions. From the numerical results, it indicates that the early short time transient responses of L-shaped plate calculated by the MRRM are the same as those by the GRM. The early short time transient acceleration responses are very large, while the early short time transient displacement responses are very small for the L-shaped plate subjected to the unit impulse. Furthermore, the effects of the different shock signals and the plate thickness on the early short time transient responses of the finite L-shaped Mindlin plates are also analyzed.
