Abstract: The theory of elastic waves superposed on finite deformation is applied to the study of thickness oscillations in a deformed elastic plate. Perturbation scheme, based on multiple scales, is ...

Abstract: The acoustoelastic effect is investigated for the Rayleigh surface wave propagating in a homogeneous isotropic material. The initial deformations considered are uniform and nonuniform only in the ...

Abstract: Residual stress in the rim of railroad solid wheel was measured nondestructively by an acoustoelasticity method which makes use of the birefringent effect. The acoustic anisotropy is a fractional ...
