Oscillatory numerical experiments in finely layered anisotropic viscoelastic media
A finely layered medium behaves as a homogeneous anisotropic medium at long wavelengths. When each layer is a transversely isotropic viscoelastic (TIV) medium, attenuation anisotropy can be described by a generalization of Backus averaging to the lossy case. We introduce a method to compute the complex and frequency-dependent stiffnesses of the equivalent viscoelastic, homogeneous, transversely...
متن کاملNumerical Homogenization of Heterogeneous Anisotropic Linear Elastic Materials
Abstract. The numerical homogenization of anisotropic linear elastic materials with strongly heterogeneous microstructure is studied. The developed algorithm is applied to the case of trabecular bone tissue. In our previous work [1], the orthotropic case was considered. The homogenized anisotropic tensor is transformed according to the principle directions of anisotropy (PDA). This provides opp...
متن کاملEffective Stiffness Tensor of Composite Media-i. Exact Series Expansions
The problem of determining exact expressions for the effective stiffness tensor macroscopically anisotropic, two-phase composite media of arbitrary microstructure in arbitrary space dimension d is considered. We depart from previous treatments by introducing an integral equation for the “cavity” strain field. This leads to new, exact series expansions for the effective stiffness tensor of macro...
متن کاملArbitrarily wide-angle wave equations for complex media
By combining various ideas related to one-way wave equations (OWWEs), half-space stiffness relation, special finiteelement discretization, and complex coordinate stretching, a systematic procedure is developed for deriving a series of highly accurate space-domain versions of OWWEs. The resulting procedure is applicable to complex media where the governing equation (full wave equation) is a seco...
متن کاملModelling the impulse diffraction field of shear waves in transverse isotropic viscoelastic medium.
The generation of shear waves from an ultrasound focused beam has been developed as a major concept for remote palpation using shear wave elastography (SWE). For muscular diagnostic applications, characteristics of the shear wave profile will strongly depend on characteristics of the transducer as well as the orientation of muscular fibers and the tissue viscoelastic properties. The numerical s...
