Abstract: A volume integral equation method is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in heterogeneous solids containing interacting multiple inclusions, voids, and cracks. The method is applied ...

Abstract: The nondestructive characterization of the material properties and the detection of hidden discontinuities in a highly porous, open cell, carbon foam using ultrasonics are presented. The propagation of ultrasonic waves in ...

Abstract: This study is motivated by the need for an efficient and accurate tool to analyze the wave field produced by localized dynamic sources on the surface or the interior of isotropic plates and ...
