a frequency-wavenumber-domain formulation is presented in this paper for calculation of the green's functions and wave propagation modes in a stratified fluid body underlain by a layered viscoelastic soil medium. the green's functions define the solid and fluid displacements and fluid pressures due to uniform disk loads acting in either the soil or fluid media. the solution is in the frequency ...

A systematic study of thermal silver ion exchange used for the fabrication of optical channel waveguides is reported in a single-alkali glass. The diffusion equilibrium and diffusion dynamics are experimentally studied, and the concentration-dependent diffusion coefficients are determined. The relationship between the fabrication conditions, i.e., time, temperature, and melt concentration, and ...

Intercellular Ca2+ waves in astrocytes are thought to serve as a pathway of long-range signaling. The waves can propagate by the diffusion of molecules through gap junctions and across the extracellular space. In rat striatal astrocytes, the gap-junctional route was shown to be dominant. To analyze the interplay of the processes involved in wave propagation, a mathematical model of this system ...

The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...

in this paper, the propagation of the waves in the laminated composite plates which is subjected to low velocity impact is investigated using the finite element method. a rigid metallic projectile with spherical nose is considered and the impact of this projectile with laminated composite is studied in this study. considering a finite element model the governing equations of the problem is disc...

Mitochondria are large-scale regulators of cytosolic calcium (Ca 2+) under normal cellular conditions. In this paper we model the complex behavior of mitochondrial calcium during the stimulation of a single cell by increase of agonist generated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) concentration and find results that are in good agreement with recent experimental studies. We also study the influen...

Reflection and transmission of plane waves between two initially stressed thermoelastic half-spaces with orthotropic type of anisotropy is studied. Incidence of a SV-type wave from the lower half-space is considered and the amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted SV-wave, P-wave and thermal wave are obtained by using appropriate boundary conditions. Numerical computation for a particu...

Similarity solutions are obtained for the propagation of a shock wave driven by piston moving with time dependence according to an exponential law in perfect gas azimuthal magnetic field as well conduction and radiation heat fluxes. Heat is described Fourier law, considered be diffusion type optically thick grey model. The thermal conductivity absorption coefficient assumed vary temperature den...

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are critical mediators of information concerning tissue damage from damaged cells to neighboring healthy cells. ATP acts as an effective DAMP when released into extracellular space from damaged cells. Extracellular ATP receptors monitor tissue damage and activate a Ca2+ wave in the surrounding healthy cells. How the Ca2+ wave propagates through cells...

The current study focuses on one-dimensional (1D) deformation in an excited microelongated semiconductor medium impacted by optoelectronics with exponential laser-pulsed heat. Diffusion effect is considered a photothermal problem of semiconducting media. Microelongated and broad variety concepts have been introduced. Appropriate solutions to set diffusion differential equations found. homogeneo...
