Oscillatory numerical experiments in finely layered anisotropic viscoelastic media
A finely layered medium behaves as a homogeneous anisotropic medium at long wavelengths. When each layer is a transversely isotropic viscoelastic (TIV) medium, attenuation anisotropy can be described by a generalization of Backus averaging to the lossy case. We introduce a method to compute the complex and frequency-dependent stiffnesses of the equivalent viscoelastic, homogeneous, transversely...
متن کاملCoherent Interferometry in Finely Layered Random Media
We study broadband, coherent interferometric array imaging (CINT) in finely layered media, in a regime with strong fluctuations. By coherent interferometric imaging we mean the backpropagation of time-windowed cross correlations of the array data. For waves propagating over long distances there is statistical stabilization of the traces observed at the array. They have the form of a coherent si...
متن کاملAnisotropic scaling in layered aperiodic Ising systems
The influence of a layered aperiodic modulation of the couplings on the critical behaviour of the two–dimensional Ising model is studied in the case of marginal perturbations. The aperiodicity is found to induce anisotropic scaling. The anisotropy exponent z, given by the sum of the surface magnetization scaling dimensions, depends continuously on the modulation amplitude. Thus these systems ar...
متن کاملPhonon heat conduction in layered anisotropic crystals
The thermal properties of anisotropic crystals are of both fundamental and practical interest, but transport phenomena in anisotropic materials such as graphite remain poorly understood because solutions of the Boltzmann equation often assume isotropy. Here, we extend an analytic solution of the transient, frequencydependent Boltzmann equation to highly anisotropic solids and examine its predic...
متن کاملResonant electromagnetic scattering in anisotropic layered media
The resonant excitation of an electromagnetic guided mode of a slab structure by exterior radiation results in anomalous scattering behavior, including sharp energy-transmission anomalies and field amplification around the frequency of the slab mode. In the case of a periodically layered ambient medium, anisotropy serves to couple the slab mode to radiation. Exact expressions for scattering phe...
