Under some generic assumptions we prove the unique continuation property for the two-dimensional inhomogeneous anisotropic elasticity system. Having established the unique continuation property, we then investigate the inverse problem of reconstructing the inclusion or cavity embedded in a plane elastic body with inhomogeneous anisotropic medium by infinitely many localized boundary measurements.

In this paper, a new formulation of the Helmholtz equation for sound propagation in a moving inhomogeneous medium in cylindrical coordinates is derived. Based on this formulation, a novel three-dimensional parabolic equation is constructed. This parabolic equation can be used to model sound propagation in an inhomogeneous arbitrary moving medium. The method is used here to simulate three-dimens...

The normal-mode expansion technique has been used to solve the uncoupled radiative heat transfer problem for an absorbing, emitting, isotropically scattering, nonisothermal, gray medium confined between specularly reflecting, gray parallel boundaries held at uniform but different temperatures. Solutions are given for the intensity of radiation, the incident radiation and the net radiation heat ...

2014 Metal-dielectric inhomogeneous media exhibit contrasted physical properties according to the nature of the metallic inclusion : noble or transition. A comparison between Au-MgO and Pt-Al2O3 thin films (prepared by sputtering), based on their optical, electrical and structural properties, is presented. The optical properties are analysed using two effective medium theories : Maxwell Garnett...
