Ultrasonic guided waves in solid media have become a critically important subject in
nondestructive testing and structural health monitoring, as new faster, more sensitive, and …

There are numerous interesting physical problems, in the fields of elasticity, acoustics and
electromagnetism etc., involving the propagation of waves in ducts or pipes. Often the …

The excitation of guided wave modes in generally anisotropic layers by finite sized strip
sources placed on the surfaces of the layer is examined. The general problem of arbitrarily …

" Methods of the Classical Theory of Elastodynamics" deals not only with classical methods
as developed in the past decades, but presents also very recent approaches. Applications …

This article is concerned with a flexible waveguide scattering problem arising in structural
acoustics. A mode-matching solution framework is explained from the perspective of …

The fundamental properties of guided waves in a laminate with any homogeneous boundary
conditions on its faces are considered. As shown, the waves satisfy orthogonality relations …

In dynamics, Saint-Venant's principle of exponential decay of stress resulting from a self-
equilibrating load is not valid. For a beam type structure, a self-equilibrated load may …

A new orthogonality condition for the Pochhammer-Chree modes of vibration of an elastic
circular cylinder is derived. Unlike the orthogonality relation obtained by previous workers …

Orthogonality relations for homogeneous waves in layered plates are obtained, and they are
generalized to the case of a contact with fluid layers. For layers of infinite thickness, it is …

The properties of eigenwaves in laminated plates with anisotropy in a transforse directon
properties are studied. The most general form of the solutions, dispersion relations, power …
