The Brewster Wave-Number Concept for Elastodynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The existence of a Brewster wave number is demonstrated for the case of plane-wave reflection by a specularly smooth, planar interface joining two homogeneous, linearly elastic, isotropic solid half-spaces. Such a wave number is numerically shown to exist for two material combinations: steel-aluminum and steel-brass. The wave number can be such that plane waves are either propagating or evanescent. Since the calculated Brewster wave number is not dependent upon which of the two half-spaces contains the incident plane waves, it appears to be an intrinsic property of the bimaterial interface and hence may be useful in the characterization of such interfaces.

Peridynamic based elastodynamic computation tool named Peri-elastodynamics is proposed herein to simulate the three-dimensional (3D) Lamb wave modes in materials for the first time. Peri-elastodynamics is a nonlocal meshless approach which is a scale-independent generalized technique to visualize the acoustic and ultrasonic waves in plate-like structure, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) ...
متن کاملFast Multipole Boundary Element Method in 2D Elastodynamics
This paper is concerned with the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) in two dimensional frequency domain elastodynamics. The fast multipole method (FMM) is derived by the Galerkin vector in the elastodynamic field. The elastodynamic field is expressed as the sum of the longitudinal and transverse wave fields, and the Galerkin vector FMM is simply derived from the scalar wave FMM. Mul...
متن کاملOn Cluttered Environments
In the project we have derived new results for wave propagation in random and complex media and looked at specific applications associated with imaging and communication through a cluttered medium. The main new theoretical result is an explicit expression for the forth moment of the wave field in the scintillation regime which is relevant for instance for laser beam propagation through the turb...
متن کاملOn the Completeness of a Method of Potentials in Elastodynamics
In this paper, the theoretical foundation of a compact scalar potential method in three-dimensional classical elastodynamics is substantiated. Beginning with a derivation of two basic lemmas on the decomposition and integration of wave solutions and vector fields which are apt to be of interest to general mechanics and analysis, the treatment proceeds to a proof of the completeness of the propo...
