Abstract: The two-dimensional scalar problem of scattering of elastic waves under antiplane strain from an interface crack between two elastic half-spaces is considered. The method used is a direct integral ...

Abstract: The scattering of elastic waves by a circular crack situated in a transversely isotropic solid is studied here. The axis of material symmetry and the axis of the crack coincides. The incident ...

Abstract: The propagation of elastic waves in a thick plate containing an embedded cavity is considered. The full elastodynamic equations are solved and both time-harmonic and pulse propagations are ...

Abstract: The scattering of elastic waves by elastic inclusions surrounded by interface layers is a problem of interest for nondestructive evaluation of interfaces in composites. In the present paper the ...

Abstract: The problem of scattering of antiplane elastic waves from a rough crack is solved by means of an extension of the null field approach. The extension consists of the expansion of certain ...

Abstract: This paper examines opportunities for seismic risk mitigation decisions at U.S. maritime ports, with special reference to the role of stakeholders and the quality of the decision-making processes used to inform seismic ...
