Abstract: The dispersion relation is presented for time-harmonic waves propagating in an arbitrary direction in a periodically laminated medium. The analysis is based on two-dimensional equations of elasticity. ...

Abstract: A solution is presented for the response of a periodically laminated elastic half plane subjected to rapid internal heating. The assumed temperature distribution has been used in previous ...

Abstract: A solution is presented for the stress-wave response of a partially transparent infinite elastic layer subjected to electromagnetic radiation. The radiation is assumed to be deposited with a ...

Abstract: Experimental results are presented for the linear elastic dynamic response of periodically laminated composites. A shock tube-capacitive transducer technique is used to determine the rear surface ...

Abstract: A solution is presented for the dynamic response of a periodically laminated half plane that consists of alternating layers of two different materials and is subjected to a moving load. The ...

Abstract: A solution is presented for the response of a periodically laminated half space to a suddenly applied surface pressure. The lamination angle is arbitrary. Dispersion due to the structure of ...

Abstract: A solution is presented for the problem of an elastic layer that is indented by an infinite array of punches moving with a steady velocity below the Rayleigh wave speed. The layer is assumed ...
