This paper concentrates on the reflection of plane waves in the mixture of generalized thermo elastic solid half-space. There exists quasi dilatational waves i.e. qP1, qP2, qT and two rotational waves S1, S2 in a two dimensional model of the solid. The boundary conditions are solved to obtain a system of five non-homogeneous equations for amplitude ratios. These amplitude ratios are found to de...

the asymmetric problem of rocking rotation of a circular rigid disk embedded in a finite depth of a transversely isotropic half-space is analytically addressed. the rigid disk is assumed to be in frictionless contact with the elastic half-space. by virtue of appropriate green's functions, the mixed boundary value problem is written as a dual integral equation. employing further mathematica...

Dispersion of Love waves is studied in a self-reinforced layer lying over an elastic non-homogeneous half space. The wave velocity equation is found to be in perfect agreement with the corresponding classical result when the anisotropic elastic parameters tend to zero. Dispersion curves for the shear wave velocity ratio and the effect of anisotropy and heterogeneity have been shown graphically....

A novel multistage numerical modeling approach to simulate acoustic-wave generation and propagation of an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is presented. The model assumes a uniform static magnetic field in a conducting half-space. A meander coil winding situated above the half-space is driven by a transient high-frequency current pulse. The numerically computed eddy currents in the co...

A boundary-domain integral equation for a coated half-space (elastically isotropic homogeneous substratum, possibly anisotropic coating layer) is developed. The half-space fundamental solution is used, so that the discretization is limited to the potential contact zone (boundary elements), the potentially plastic part of the substratum and the coating layer (domain integration cells). Steady-st...
