Response Due to Concentrated Force in Micropolar Elastic Solid with Voids

Elastic Wave Propagation at Imperfect Boundary of Micropolar Elastic Solid and Fluid Saturated Porous Solid Half-Space

This paper deals with the reflection and transmission of elastic waves from imperfect interface separating a micropolar elastic solid half-space and a fluid saturated porous solid half-space. Longitudinal and transverse waves impinge obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained and computed numerically for a specific model and results obta...

Reflection and Transmission of Elastic Waves at Viscous Liquid/micropolar Elastic Solid Interface

Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted elastic waves from a plane interface separating a viscous liquid half-space and a micropolar elastic solid halfspace, are obtained in two cases (i) when longitudinal wave propagating through the solid half-space is made incident at the interface and (ii) when “coupled-wave” propagating through the solid half-space is made incident at the int...

Propagation of Waves at an Interface of Heat Conducting Elastic Solid and Micropolar Fluid Media

The present investigation is concerned with the reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves at the interface of generalized thermoelastic solid half space and heat conducting micropolar fluid half- space. The amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves with various angle of incidence have been computed numerically and depicted graphically. Micropolarity and thermal r...

Periodic orbits in scattering from elastic voids

The scattering determinant for the scattering of waves from several obstacles is considered in the case of elastic solids with voids. The multi-scattering determinant displays contributions from periodic ray-splitting orbits. A discussion of the weights of such orbits is presented.
