Abstract: The high-frequency behavior of generalized ray arrivals is discussed with a view towards material characterization by means of measurements of the dispersion of ultrasonic pulses. The effect of ...

Abstract: The transition matrix formulation of multiple scattering is applied to the problem of wave propagation in a one-dimensional layered medium. The effect of geometrical irregularity in an otherwise ...

Abstract: The response of an infinite elastic plate to dynamic loading is presented by the method of superposition of normal modes, a method particularly appropriate in the intermediate and far field. ...

Abstract: The elastodynamic response of a thick plate, with the axis of transverse isotropy normal to the plate surface, is calculated by double numerical inverse transforms, a method particularly well-suited ...
