Stress Wave Propagation in Elastic-elastic and Elastic-viscoelastic Bilaminates

In the present study normal plate-impact experiments are conducted to investigate the propagation of acceleration waves in 2-D layered material systems. The objective of these experiments is to understand the role of material architecture and material inelasticity in controlling precursor decay and late-time dispersion of acceleration waves in elastic-elastic and elasticviscoelastic laminates. ...

Elastic wave propagation along DNA

It is shown that information transmission inside a cell can occur by means of mechanical waves transmitted through DNA. The propagation of the waves is strongly dependent on the shape of the DNA thus proteins that change the shape of DNA can alter signal transmission. The overall effect is a method of signal processing by DNA binding proteins that creates a ”cellular communications network”. Th...

Surface Wave Propagation in Non Homogeneous, General Magneto-Thermo, Visco-Elastic Media

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the surface waves in a non-homogeneous, isotropic, visco-elastic solid medium of nth order including time rate of strain. The theory of generalized surface waves has firstly been developed and then it has been employed to investigate particular cases of waves, viz., Stonely and Rayleigh, Love type. The wave velocity equations have been obtained for...

Analytical solution of wave propagation in a non-homogeneous orthotropic rotating elastic media

In this paper, the natural frequencies of the radial vibrations of a hollow cylinder and hollow sphere with different boundary conditions under influences of rotation and non-homogeneity have been studied. The radial vibrations of orthotropic material as affected by the angular velocity are investigated on the basis of the linear theory of elasticity. The of elastodynamic equations have been so...
