Abstract: A low-frequency analysis is presented here for the axisymmetric problem of diffraction of torsional waves by an oblate spheroidal cavity in an isotropic homogeneous elastic medium. The method ...

Abstract: Propagation of SH-waves through a fiber-reinforced composite has been considered. Fibers are taken to be elliptic in cross section and are assumed to be randomly distributed. It has been shown ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the scattering of plane longitudinal and shear waves by a distribution of elastic ellipsoidal inclusions. The scattered field is determined correct to O(ε3 ) where ε is ...

Abstract: Diffraction of an antiplane shear (SH-) wave by an edge crack in a semi-infinite elastic medium is studied here. Asymptotic expansions for the scattered field both near and far from the crack ...

Abstract: Guided waves in coated anisotropic medium are of interest in electronics. Also, in recent years, cladded fiber-reinforced composites are being developed for use as aerospace structures. This paper ...

Abstract: The stability of a long, thin elastic strip hanging vertically in a downward flowing airstream was considered. Experimentally it was observed that the strip remained essentially motionless or ...

Abstract: Transient response of multilayered superconducting tapes has been studied in this paper. These tapes are usually composed of layers of a superconducting material (like YBa2Cu3O7−δ, or YBCO, for ...

Abstract: The scattering of elastic waves by elastic inclusions surrounded by interface layers is a problem of interest for nondestructive evaluation of interfaces in composites. In the present paper the ...
