Various approximations to the exact formal integral representations of the near-field and the impedance are considered. A new approximate form is obtained which appears to be valid even when the dipole is near a poorly conducting earth. Numerical comparisons with the exact integral formula verify some of the conjectures. The result shows that the ground has a significant influence on the input impedance of the dipole, particularly for low heights.

We study the role of integral representations in the description of nonperturbative solutions to c ≤ 1 string theory. A generic solution is determined by two functions, W(x) and Q(x), which behave at infinity like xp and xq respectively. The integral formula for arbitrary (p, q) models is derived, which explicitly realizes a duality transformation between (p, q) and (q, p) 2D gravity solutions. We also discuss the exact solutions to the string equation and reduction condition and present several explicit examples.

AbstractThis paper presents a theoretical study of the propagation behaviour of surface Love waves in nonhomogeneous functionally graded elastic materials, which is a vital problem in acoustics. The elastic properties (shear modulus) of a semi-infinite elastic half-space vary monotonically with the depth (distance from the surface of the material). Two Love wave waveguide structures are analyzed: 1) a nonhomogeneous elastic surface layer deposited on a homogeneous elastic substrate, and 2) a semi-infinite nonhomogeneous elastic half-space. The Direct Sturm-Liouville Problem that describes the propagation of Love waves in nonhomogeneous elastic functionally graded materials is formulated and solved 1) analytically in the case of the step profile, exponential profile and 1cosh2type profile, and 2) numerically in the case of the power type profiles (i.e. linear and quadratic), by using two numerical methods: i.e. a) Finite Difference Method, and b) Haskell-Thompson Transfer Matrix Method.The dispersion curves of phase and group velocity of surface Love waves in inhomogeneous elastic graded materials are evaluated. The integral formula for the group velocity of Love waves in nonhomogeneous elastic graded materials has been established. The results obtained in this paper can give a deeper insight into the nature of Love waves propagation in elastic nonhomogeneous functionally graded materials.

An analytical method is presented which makes it possible to derive exact explicit expressions for the time-harmonic surface fields excited by a small circular loop antenna placed on the top surface of plane layered earth. The developed procedure leads to casting the complete integral representations for the EM field components into forms suitable for application of Cauchy’s integral formula. As a result, the surface fields are expressed as sums of Hankel functions. Numerical simulations are performed to show the validity and accuracy of the proposed solution.

Exact synthetic seismograms are obtained for a simple layered elastic half‐space due to a buried point force and a point torque. Two models, similar to those encountered in seismic exploration of sedimentary basins, are examined in detail. The seismograms are complete to any specified time and make use of a Cagniard‐Pekeris method and a decomposition into generalized rays. The weathered layer is modeled as a thin low‐velocity layer over a half‐space. For a horizontal force in an arbitrary direction, the transverse component, in the near‐field, shows detectable first arrivals traveling with a compressional wave velocity. The radial and vertical components, at all distances, show a surface head wave (sP*) which is not generated when the source is compressive. A buried vertical force produces the same surface head wave prominently on the radial component. An example is given for a simple “Alberta” model as an aid to the interpretation of wide angle seismic reflections and head waves.

Abstract We give another proof of Poisson’s integral formula for harmonic functions in a ball or a half space by using heat kernels with Green’s formula. We wish to emphasize that this method works well even for a half space, which is an unbounded domain; the functions involved are integrable, since the heat kernel decays rapidly. This method needs no trick such as the subordination identity, which is indispensable when applying the Fourier transform method for a half space.
