Water-wave propagation through an infinite array of cylindrical structures
نویسنده
چکیده
An investigation is made into water-wave propagation through a doubly-periodic array of vertical cylinders extending to infinity in both horizontal directions. Methods are presented for the calculation of the frequency ranges for which wave propagation without change of amplitude is possible (‘passing bands’), and for which propagation without change of amplitude is not possible (‘stopping bands’). Some of the techniques may be used to determine the decay of wave amplitude within the stopping bands. Approximate and numerical techniques are used to show how this infinite-array problem is related to trapped modes, Rayleigh-Bloch waves, and the problem of wave diffraction by a grating made up of a finite number of cylinder rows.

Water-wave propagation through an infinite array of floating structures
The frequency-domain problem of water-wave propagation through a periodically arranged infinite array of structures is solved using the method of matched asymptotic expansions for both shallow and deep water; the structures are assumed to be small relative to the wave length and the array periodicity, and may be fixed or float freely. Explicit approximations to the frequencies of propagating mo...
متن کاملWave Propagation Approach to Fluid Filled Submerged Visco-Elastic Finite Cylindrical Shells
Multi-layer orthotropic finite cylindrical shells with a viscoelastic core in contact with fluids are gaining increasing importance in engineering. Vibrational control of these structures is essential at higher modes. In this study, an extended version of the wave propagation approach using first-order shear deformation theory of shell motion is employed to examine the free vibration of damped ...

Propagation of guided waves in a solid rod surrounded by infinite media is an interesting research topic of practical importance. One important application is ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of rock bolts. Rock bolts are inserted into the mixture of rock and concrete to ensure the stability of the groundwork. For this research topic, it is important to study the propagation of guided...
متن کاملAcoustic Wave propagation through multilayer Thue-Morse structures containing two, three and four materials of Cu, Al, MgO and Pb
In this paper, the acoustic wave propagation in multilayer Thue-Morse structures has theoretically been studied. The composing layers were assumed do be Cu, Al, Mgo and Pb materials. Two, three or four different materials have been used in a typical structure. By using a perpendicular incident acoustic wave, the transmission coefficient was calculated and then by its old, the frequency gaps was...
