In this paper, ultrasonic wave propagation in three phases (3P) of composite materials was investigated. The simulation was conducted by PZFlex analysis code, a time domain finite element program. The reflection and transmission characteristics with different shapes of middle layer between glass fiber and epoxy resin are investigated in order to understand basic ultrasonic behavior of energy di...

An approach of Green’s function is adopted to solve the inhomogeneous linear differential equations representing wave equations in piezo-composite materials. In particular, transference of horizontally polarised shear (SH) waves is considered in bedded structure comprising of porous-piezo electric layer lying over a heterogeneous half-space. Propagation of SH-waves is considered to be influence...

The paper addresses a crucial point in ultra-wideband (UWB) radio wave propagation, which is the spatial-temporal resolution of scattering objects into multiple frequency-dependent scattering centers. The effect contributes to the widely observed temporal dispersion of pulse-shaped transmit signals and their distortion, respectively. Particularly the latter is explained by (multiple) diffractio...

Coherent wave propagation in disordered media gives rise to many fascinating phenomena as diverse as universal conductance fluctuations in mesoscopic metals and speckle patterns in light scattering. Here, the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in diffusive media is combined with information theory to show how interference affects the information transmission rate between antenna arrays....

Classically, waveguides are structures with uniform sections or are periodic along an axis. Vibrations of these waveguides can be described by wave modes and propagation constants relating the displacements and forces in two sections of the waveguide. Here, waveguides of non uniform sections are considered. More precisely, we consider waveguides which have sections with size increasing proporti...

a considerable amount of energy is released in the form of shock wave from explosive charge detonation. shock wave energy is responsible for the creation of crushing and fracture zone around the blast hole. the rest of the shock wave energy is transferred to rock mass as ground vibration. ground vibration is conveyed to the adjacent structures by body and surface waves. geological structures li...
