Nonaffine correlations in random elastic media.
Materials characterized by spatially homogeneous elastic moduli undergo affine distortions when subjected to external stress at their boundaries, i.e., their displacements from a uniform reference state grow linearly with position , and their strains are spatially constant. Many materials, including all macroscopically isotropic amorphous ones, have elastic moduli that vary randomly with positi...
متن کاملCorrelations among angular wave component amplitudes in elastic multiple-scattering random media.
The propagation of scalar waves through random media that provide multiple elastic scattering is considered by derivation of an expression for the angular correlation of the scattered wave amplitudes. Coherent wave transmission is shown to occur through a mechanism similar to that responsible for coherent backscattering. While the properties of the scattered wave are generally consistent with r...
متن کاملRelaxation dynamics of an elastic string in random media.
We investigate numerically the relaxation dynamics of an elastic string in two-dimensional random media by thermal fluctuations starting from a flat configuration. Measuring spatial fluctuations of its mean position, we find that the correlation length grows in time asymptotically as xi approximately (ln t)1/chi . This implies that the relaxation dynamics is driven by thermal activations over r...
متن کاملTransport Equations for Elastic and Other Waves in Random Media
We derive and analyze transport equations for the energy density of waves of any kind in a random medium. The equations take account of nonuniformities of the background medium, scattering by random inhomogeneities, polarization e ects, coupling of di erent types of waves, etc. We also show that di usive behavior occurs on long time and distance scales and we determine the di usion coe cients. ...
متن کاملNon–equilibrium relaxation of an elastic string in random media
We study the relaxation of an elastic string in a two dimensional pinning landscape using Langevin dynamics simulations. The relaxation of a line, initially flat, is characterized by a growing length, L(t), separating the equilibrated short length scales from the flat long distance geometry that keep memory of the initial condition. We find that, in the long time limit, L(t) has a non–algebraic...
