Abstract A power flow finite element method (PFFEM) is developed in Reference 1 for the steady state high frequency vibration analysis of beams in which there is propagation of one wave type (bending). A finite element thermal analog presented herein for power flow analysis of beam members in which both bending and longitudinal waves are present is a farther development of the PFFEM. Conducting bar elements model power flow in the beam and also power transmission, reflection and conversion at structural joints. Convection elements model internal power dissipation. Properties of joint elements are in general non-linear and depend upon the power level at the joint as well as transmission and reflection coefficients. The thermal analog is verified for particular linear cases wherein properties of the joint elements are dependent only upon the transmission and reflection coefficients.

The microwave properties of a composite material containing flakes of finemet-type nanocrystalline alloy placed in the epoxy matrix have been investigated. Two compositions have been studied: with 15% and 30% flakes. Frequency dependences of transmission and reflection coefficients are measured in the frequency range from 12 to 38 GHz. The dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability are obtained, and the microwave losses are calculated. The dependences of transmission and reflection coefficients have been drawn as functions of wave frequency and thickness of the composite material, taking into account the frequency dependences of permittivity and permeability. The regions of maximal and minimal microwave absorption have been defined. The influence of wave interference on the frequency dependence of microwave absorption is studied.

The wave reflection coefficients of damage such as cracks, notches and slots in otherwise uniform beams depend on frequency and on the size of the damage. Experimental results are presented for the wave power reflection coefficients of transverse slots of various depths sawn into a number of beam specimens. These results are compared with a conventional spring model to estimate the depth of the slot. The method appears to work well for larger slot depths (greater than about 30% of the thickness of the beam) and at higher frequencies, allowing their existence to be inferred and their size to be estimated. This is due to the fact that the reflection coefficients are larger in these regimes. For smaller slots or at low frequencies, noise and experimental errors, such as miscalibration errors and ill-conditioning, become more significant.

In this paper, we study the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation in the presence of a smooth barrier in dimensions space–time (1+1) dimensions. The eigenfunctions are determined in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function [Formula: see text]. The transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated, special cases as a rectangular barrier and step potential are analyzed. A numerical study is presented for the transmission and reflection coefficients graphs for some values of the parameters [Formula: see text] are plotted.

Abstract This paper presents the materials evaluation and environmental monitoring techniques utilizing the acoustic resonance, which have been developed by the authors. When the ultrasound passes through thin layer, the transmission and reflection coefficients take their maximum and the minimum values at the resonant frequency. We call this acoustic resonance. The acoustic properties of a polymer film, e.g., the acoustic impedance, ultrasonic velocity, and density, can be determined by observing the acoustic resonance, which occurs at the water/film/reflection plate interface. Acoustic resonance occurs at the reflection plate/film/outer environment interface sensitively changes depending on the outer environment. With use of this, the temperature of the water as an outer environment is tried to be monitored.

We present a new potential barrier that presents the phenomenon of superradiance when the reflection coefficient [Formula: see text] is greater than one. We calculated the transmission and reflection coefficients for three different regions. The results are compared with those obtained for the hyperbolic tangent potential barrier and the step potential barrier. We also present the solution of the Klein–Gordon equation with the Lambert-[Formula: see text] potential barrier in terms of the Heun Confluent functions.
