On the anomalously low attenuation of the leaky Rayleigh wave in a fluid-filled cylindrical cavity
It is shown that the dispersive Rayleigh wave propagating around a concave cylindrical surface is substantially less attenuated by fluid loading than the corresponding wave on a flat surface. First, the analytical solution for vertically polarized shear wave scattering from a fluid-filled cylindrical cavity is formulated in the time domain, then the signal of interest is gated out and spectrum ...
متن کاملOn the exact Kirchhoff and Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theories for the focusing of an infinite scalar spherical wave-field
The first and second Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theories, together with the Kirchhoff diffraction theory, are widely used in the formulation of optical diffraction problems [ 1 ]. They arise in the context of the half-space boundary-value problem of scalar wave theory; all sources of the optical field are assumed to be located in the Z~< 0 half-space, and the Z > 0 half-space is taken to b...
متن کاملProblem of Rayleigh Wave Propagation in Thermoelastic Diffusion
In this work, the problem of Rayleigh wave propagation is considered in the context of the theory of thermoelastic diffusion. The formulation is applied to a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic half space with mass diffusion at the stress free, isothermal, isoconcentrated boundary. Using the potential functions and harmonic wave solution, three coupled dilatational waves and a shear wave is obt...
متن کاملOptimal wave focusing
Focusing waves inside a medium has applications in various science and engineering fields, e.g., in medical imaging, ultrasound therapy, noninvasive surgery, nondestructive evaluation, and geophysics in areas such as imaging and focusing microseismic events. The goal in focusing is to concentrate the wave energy at a specific time and location inside a medium. Various techniques have been devis...
متن کاملRelationship between head wave amplitudes and seismic refraction velocities to detect lateral variation in the refractor
Refractor ambiguities are big problem in seismic refraction method especially in seismic engineering. There can be hidden subsurface geological phenomena such as hidden faults and shear zones which are not simply predicted by the travel-time graph or some geophysical methods. Head wave amplitudes are used to show the resolution of refractor ambiguities and the existence of anisotropy in complex...
