[1] Results of extensive experiments on propagation of unidirectional nonlinear random waves in a large wave tank are presented. The nonlinearity of the wavefield determined by the characteristic wave amplitude and the dominant wave length was retained constant in various series of experimental runs. In each experimental series, initial spectra of different shape and/or width were considered. E...

In this paper, wave propagation approach is used to analysis the free vibration and buckling analysis of the thick rectangular plates based on higher order shear deformation plate theory. From wave viewpoint, vibrations can be considered as traveling waves along structures. Waves propagate in a waveguide and reflect at the boundaries. It is assumed that the plate has two opposite edge simply su...

This paper deals with the propagation of magneto-thermo Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space under initial stress. It has been observed that velocity of Rayleigh waves depends on viscosity, magnetic field, temperature and initial stress of the half-space. The frequency equation for Rayleigh waves under the effect of magnetic field, stress and temperature for both viscoelastic...

Linear three-dimensional instabilities of nonlinear two-dimensional uniform gravitycapillary waves are studied using numerical methods. The eigenvalue system for the stability problem is generated using a Galerkin method and differs in detail from techniques used to study the stability of pure gravity waves (McLean 1982) and pure capillary waves (Chen & Saffman 1985). It is found that instabili...

This study was designed to examine the propagation and propagation failure of the slow wave. Spontaneous slow waves and action potentials were recorded from the longitudinal muscle layer of small strips of cat jejunum. Slow waves could be stimulated electrically at intervals shorter than the spontaneous interval, and the velocity of propagation of these slow waves was slower than the spontaneou...

Waves in periodic media, whose propagation is governed by nearest neighbour interaction, are investigated. The reflection and transmission coefficients are derived for a plane wave incident from medium 1 upon medium 2, without invoking common approximations. The derivation is valid for a class of waves including magnetoand electro-inductive waves, waves on short loaded dipoles, nanoparticles, c...
