Abstract: The excitation of guided wave modes in generally anisotropic layers by finite sized strip sources placed on the surfaces of the layer is examined. The general problem of arbitrarily applied ...

Abstract: The reflections and transmissions of longitudinal strain pulses in cylindrical shells having cross-sectional area discontinuities are studied both analytically and experimentally. Three different ...

Abstract: Three bar-of-revolution theories are developed. The most inclusive theory is equivalent to the Mindlin-McNiven theory for circular bars in that it includes radial, axial shear, and longitudinal ...

Abstract: The problem of ultrasonic surface and bulk wave propagation in an anisotropic media and/or a composite material is addressed so that applications in Nondestructive Evaluation can be considered, ...
