Abstract: The transient scattering of waves by an island surrounded by a locally variable water depth is solved by a finite-difference integration in the inhomogeneous region terminated at an outer ...

Abstract: The order of singularity in velocity at the corner of an infinite free-surface wedge of arbitrary angle struck by a plane acoustic pulse is found by means of the Kirchhoff integral form of ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are obtained for stress, velocity, and strain at the wave front in a suddenly loaded semi-infinite rod of a material with a linear instantaneous response and nonlinear ...

Abstract: The response to low-frequency periodic plane incident waves of a harbor connected by a narrow channel to the open sea is studied using linearized, constant depth, shallow water wave theory. ...
