Response of a transversely isotropic 3-D half-space subjected to a surface time-harmonic excitation is presented in analytical form. The derivation of the fundamental solutions expressed in terms of displacements is based on the prefect series of displacement potential functions that have been obtained in the companion paper by the authors. First the governing equations are uncoupled in the cyl...

SUKHARY Frequency-scanned antenna m a g s usually emplaJr a sinuous feed to obtain a high frequency sensitivity [ l ] , [2]. It has been redized [I] that this effect can alternatively be produced by using a slow-wave feed, such as a helix, in place of the more commonly employed "Efi-line or waveguide feed. Such a feed system can be made quite compact and lightweight as compared to the lat ter t...

We investigate antiplane Stoneley waves, localized at the discontinuity surface between two perfectly bonded half-spaces. Both half-spaces are elastic linear isotropic and possess a microstructure that is described within theory of couple stress materials with micro-inertia. show deeply affects wave propagation, which permitted under broad conditions. This outcome stands in marked contrast to c...

With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...

This paper is concerned with the study of propagation of Stoneley waves at the interface of two dissimilar isotropic microstretch thermoelastic diffusion medium in the context of generalized theories of thermoelasticity. The dispersion equation of Stoneley waves is derived in the form of a determinant by using the boundary conditions. The dispersion curves giving the phase velocity and attenuat...
