The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...

If each phase has an identical crystal structure and small misfit in the lattice parameters in a binary-phase crystalline system, coherent phase boundaries usually form during separation. Although there have been numerous studies on the effect of coherency elastic energy, no attempt has been made to demonstrate how the phase-separation behaviour varies when multiple interfaces meet at a junctio...

Measurements of the elastic constants,the specific heat and the entropy of grain boundaries have been performed by utilizing ultra-fine grained materials (Pd, 6nm grain size; Mg, 12 nm grain size; CaF2, 7 nm grain size) about 30 to 50 vol% of which consist of grain boundaries. The results obtained suggest that (1) The interatomic potentials in grain boundaries in metals differ from the lattice ...

Generally speaking, seismoelectric modeling is a prospecting method based on seismic and electromagnetic waves, in which waves generated by a seismic source at the boundary of the two environments generate a relative fluid-solid motion formed as a result of antagonism between the elastic properties of the environment with the saturated fluid. This research has as its objective, a study of the e...
