Homogeneous Anisotropic Medium

abstract A simple geometric construction is derived for the shape of the wave front in a homogeneous anisotropic medium. It is shown to be equivalent to the intuitive method of constructing a wave front using Huygen's principle. Although this construction has been referred to and tersely described in the literature (Musgrave, 1970; Kraut, 1963; Duff, 1960), it is instructive to demonstrate its relationship to the common notion of the wave front obtained via consideration of the group velocity. The wave front is shown to be the polar reciprocal of the slowness surface (the dispersion relation at constant frequency). An appreciation of the pole-polar correspondence between the two surfaces allows quick inference of some of the important features of the wave front in a homogeneous anisotropic medium.

Propagation Of Light

We consider the propagation of light in an anisotropic medium with a topological line defect in the realm of geometrical optics. It is shown that the effective geometry perceived by light propagating in such medium is that of a spacial section of the cosmic string spacetime.

The method of analytic continuation and Schwarz-Neumann’s alternating technique were applied to the thermoelastic interaction problems of singularities and interfaces in an anisotropic “trimaterial,” which denotes an infinite body composed of three dissimilar materials bonded along two parallel interfaces. It was assumed that the linear thermoelastic materials are under general plane deformations in which the plane of deformation is perpendicular to the planes of the two parallel interfaces. The author then showed that by alternately applying the method of analytic continuation across two parallel interfaces the solution for the thermoelastic singularities in an anisotropic trimaterial can be obtained in a series form from a solution for the same singularities in a homogeneous anisotropic medium.

Eight-dimensional topological space providing an object evolution in time, including causes of evolution is presented. Part of Euclidean space separated by any close surface from complementary space, where any Euclidean point of space is juxtaposed with parameter, is being felt as an object. Coplanar approximation of flat planar devices is based on the flat, homogeneous, isotropic planar object and chaotic medium. The new, more general approximation of the topological space by equidistant surfaces, suitable for spatial planar objects, is presented. Selfformation of spatial objects (homogeneous, non-homogeneous, anisotropic), medium (chaotic, chaotic oriented, homogeneous oriented, structural) based on non-homeomorpheous mapping in peculiar points and evolution irreversibility, is discussed.
