Transmission And Reflection

An experimental investigation was conducted on a quarter‐plane loaded with an explosive charge at one point on the boundary. Experimental methods of dynamic photoelasticity and interferometry were used to obtain full‐field data of the dynamic event. Results of the study were obtained for both the P and R‐wave interaction with the corner. Energy reflection coefficients were found for the P‐wave interaction. For the Rayleigh wave, where the response was more significant, transmission and reflection coefficients based on both stress and surface energy were established. Subsurface stress distributions for the transmitted and reflected Rayleigh waves were obtained in the region near the corner.

Transmission And Reflection

This paper investigates the wave transmission and reflection of an elastic P-wave at a single joint for normal incidence. First, considering a coupled joint (correction parameterλ,0<λ<1), a normal deformation constitutive model of the joint (g‐λmodel) under static or quasi-static loading is introduced and then extended to dynamic loading. The nonlinearity of the joint stress-deformation curve increases with increasingλ. Second, the interaction between the P-wave and the joint is investigated by using the method of characteristics and the displacement discontinuity method to deduce the differential expression of the transmitted wave’s particle velocity. The approximate analytical expressions of the transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained according to the Lemaitre equivalent strain assumption. Third, parametric studies are conducted to evaluate the effects ofλon transmission characteristics for a normally incident P-wave at a single joint. The results show that the particle velocity of the transmitted wave depends onλ. Whenλtakes the limit values 0 and 1, the transmitted wave’s particle velocities are then consistent with the conclusions of the classical exponential model and the Barton–Bandis model. In addition, the transmission and reflection coefficients are discussed with respect toλand also to the ratio of the joint closure to the maximum allowable joint closure.

Abstract Using a Green's function method of approximation, transmission and reflection coefficients are computed for the problem of Rayleigh waves incident upon a step change in the elevation of the surface of a homogeneous half-space. Several versions of these approximations are given, differing principally by the method in which the surface waves on the vertical face of the step are taken into account.

Transmission And Reflection

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.

According to the displacement discontinuity method and the conservation of momentum at the wave fronts, analysis for cylindrical P-wave propagation across a linear elastic rock joint is carried out. Considering the energy variation for wave propagation in one medium, the wave propagation equation was derived and expressed in an iterative form. The transmission and reflection coefficients are then obtained from the equation. By verification, the results agree very well with those from the existing results.

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.
