Recently, waves propagating with negative phase velocity [simply called antiwaves (AWs)] have attracted great attention in the area of nonlinear oscillatory systems. In the present work we investigate the parameter conditions for AWs. So far AWs have been revealed from systems slightly beyond Hopf bifurcation or some other instabilities, and from some wave sources with certain restricted freque...

The propagation of shear waves in an anisotropic fluid saturated porous layer over a prestressed semi-infinite homogeneous elastic half-space lying under an elastic homogeneous layer with irregularity present at the interface with rigid boundary has been studied. The rectangular irregularity has been taken in the half-space. The dispersion equation for shear waves is derived by using the pertur...

Cosmological phase transitions may have played important roles in shaping the present Universe. If the transition is of the rst order, it proceeds with the nucleation of new-phase bubbles and their growth. The details of the bubble dynamics can aaect the consequencies of the phase transition. For example, baryogenesis in the course of the electroweak phase transition is known to depend on the b...

We developed a method of velocity-coded color MR angiography using a color code from the data obtained from velocity-phase images of phase-contrast MR angiography in order to add flow direction information to MR angiograms. Phase-contrast MR angiography with reconstruction of velocity-phase images was performed in 30 patients. Two projection images from velocity-phase images of each phase-contr...

in this paper, the temperature distribution around a moving heat source had been investigated including the phase change and non phase change . in non-phase change state, the governing equation was converted to finite difference equation by finite volume method and the equation was solved by alternating direction implicit method. this method was unconditionally stable . in phase change state, t...

An effective dynamical description of a general class of stochastic phase oscillators is presented. For this, the effective phase velocity is defined either by the stochastic phase oscillators invariant probability density or its first passage times. Using the first approach the effective phase exhibits the correct frequency and invariant distribution density, whereas the second approach models...

The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...

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...

In this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. The governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by Sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. It is found that three types of...
