Abstract: This paper gives additional results in the transient response of a rigid spherical inclusion in an elastic medium due to a periodic disturbances. The locations of the poles in the admittance ...

Abstract: The transient response of a rigid spherical inclusion of arbitrary density embedded in an elastic medium owing to an incident pulse is examined in this paper. The Fourier-integral method is ...

Abstract: The problem of dynamic stresses and displacements around a cavity and rigid inclusion of arbitrary density is examined for an elastic medium during the passage of a plane shear wave. In the ...

Abstract: The dynamic stresses at the boundary of a cavity filled with an inviscid compressible fluid during the passage of a plane dilatational wave train are determined in this paper. The steady-state ...

Abstract: Analysis of the interaction of a cylindrical wave impinging on a cylindrical cavity is presented. It is assumed that a line source is located an arbitrary distance from the cavity and that ...

Abstract: The description of even the gross features of the response to an incident stress pulse of an infinite elastic solid with a hole or obstruction requires very extensive calculations [1]. On the ...
