Reflection Of Waves

Epstein (1930) and Rawer (1939) studied the reflection of waves in a stratified medium by transforming the hypergeometric equation into the wave equation. A particular case of the Epstein profile is a symmetrical layer. Considerable attention has been given in the literature to this case as well as to symmetrical layers with certain other profiles of the refractive index. In the present paper a generalized Epstein profile is considered and the reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained. The special case in which the refractive index tends to the same constant value on either side of a layer is then discussed. The symmetrical Epstein profile is a special case of this layer which, in general, is asymmetrical. Particular attention is given to a layer differing only slightly from the symmetrical Epstein layer, a simple approximate formula for the reflection coefficient being derived.

Novel Material

Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general Christoffel equation is derived from the coupled constitutive and balance equations, which is further employed to solve the elastic displacements and electric and magnetic potentials. Based on these solutions, the reflection and transmission coefficients in the corresponding layered structures are subsequently obtained by virtue of the propagator matrix method. Two layered examples are selected to verify and illustrate our solutions. One is the purely elastic layered system composed of aluminum and organic glass materials. The other layered system is composed of the novel magnetoelectroelastic material and the organic glass. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with different incident angles, frequencies, and boundary conditions, which could be useful to nondestructive evaluation of this novel material structure based on wave propagations.

The Fourier Transform

A modified Nicholson – Ross – Weir method was used to determine complex parameters and dielectric permittivity of ceramic materials in the range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The measuring equipment is a meter of complex reflection and transmission coefficients, a waveguide measuring canal with a special measuring cell, consisting of two irregular waveguides and a waveguide chamber between them, which provides insignificant influence of higher-order modes. The dependences of the amplitude and phase of the reflection and transmission coefficients on frequency were obtained experimentally for fluoroplastic and three ceramic samples in the frequency range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The obtained S-parameters are processed according to an algorithm that includes their averaging based on the Fourier transform in order to obtain the values of the dielectric permittivity. Fluoroplastic was used as a reference material with a known dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of fluoroplastic has a stable value of 2.1 in the above mentioned frequency range. The dielectric constant of sample No. 1 varies from 3.6 to 2.5 at the boundaries of the range, sample No. 2 – from 3.7 to 2.1, sample No. 3 – from 2.9 to 1.5. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the literature data for other frequencies taking into account the limits set by the measurement uncertainty.

The Matrix

In this paper, we carry out the homogenization of a very rough three-dimensional interface separating  two dissimilar generally anisotropic poroelastic solids modeled by the Biot theory. The very rough interface is assumed to be a cylindrical surface that rapidly oscillates between two parallel planes, and the motion is time-harmonic. Using the homogenization method with the matrix formulation of the poroelasicity theory, the explicit  homogenized equations have been derived. Since the obtained  homogenized equations are totally explicit, they are very convenient for solving various practical problems. As an example proving this, the reflection and transmission of SH waves at a very rough interface of tooth-comb type is considered. The closed-form analytical expressions of the reflection and transmission coefficients have been  derived. Based on them, the effect of the incident angle and some material parameters  on the reflection and transmission coefficients are examined numerically.
