Generation of Sh - Type Waves in Layered Anisotropic Elastic Media
A study is made of the generation of SH-type wves at the free surface of a layered anlsotroplc elastic medium due to an impulsive stress discontinuity moving with uniform velocity along the interface of the layered medium. The exact solution for the displacement function is obtained by the Laplace and Fourier transforms combined with the modified Cagnlard method. The numerical results for an im...
متن کاملSolitary Waves in Layered Nonlinear Media
We study longitudinal elastic strain waves in a one-dimensional periodically layered medium, alternating between two materials with different densities and stress-strain relations. If the impedances are different, dispersive effects are seen due to reflection at the interfaces. When the stress-strain relations are nonlinear, the combination of dispersion and nonlinearity leads to the appearance...
متن کاملRecursive Green functions technique applied to the propagation of elastic waves in layered media.
Guided by similarities between electronic and classical waves, a numerical code based on a formalism proven to be very effective in condensed matter physics has been developed, aiming to describe the propagation of elastic waves in stratified media (e.g. seismic signals). This so-called recursive Green function technique is frequently used to describe electronic conductance in mesoscopic system...
متن کاملLocalization and mode conversion for elastic waves in randomly layered media
We derive localization theory for elastic waves in plane-strati ed media, a multimode problem complicated by the interconversion of shear and compressional waves, both in propagation and in backscatter. In the low frequency limit, i.e. when the randomness constitutes a microstructure, we give analytical expressions for the following quantities: the localization length, and another deterministic...
متن کاملScattering of elastic waves in damaged media.
The scattering of elastic waves in a medium with damage from microcracking is discussed. The influence of damage from penny-shaped microcracks within a homogeneous medium is considered. The microcracks are assumed to be randomly oriented and uniformly distributed. Explicit expressions are derived for the attenuation of longitudinal and shear elastic waves in terms of the damage parameter and th...
