چکیده

We present a generalized optical theorem for surface waves. The theorem also applies to body waves since under many circumstances body waves can be written in terms of surface-wave modal summations. This theorem therefore extends the domain of applicability of the optical theorem from homogeneous background media to a general class of body and surface-wave propagation regimes within layered elastic media.

Stress Waves in a Generalized Thermo Elastic Polygonal Plate of Inner and Outer Cross Sections

The stress wave propagation in a generalized thermoelastic polygonal plate of inner and outer cross sections is studied using the Fourier expansion collocation method. The wave equation of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity is applied under the plane strain assumption of generalized thermoelastic plate of polygonal shape, composed of homogeneous isotropic material.  The freque...

Normal modes of layered elastic media and application to diffuse fields

The spectral decomposition of the elastic wave operator in a layered isotropic half-space is derived by means of standard functional analytic methods. Particular attention is paid to the coupled P-SV waves. The problem is formulated directly in terms of displacements which leads to a 2 × 2 Sturm-Liouville system. The resolvent kernel (Green function) is expressed in terms of simple plane-wave s...

Dispersion of Torsional Surface Wave in a Pre-Stressed Heterogeneous Layer Sandwiched Between Anisotropic Porous Half-Spaces Under Gravity

The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

The reciprocity theorem for the scattered field is the progenitor of the generalized optical theorem.

By analyzing correlation-type reciprocity theorems for wavefields in perturbed media, it is shown that the correlation-type reciprocity theorem for the scattered field is the progenitor of the generalized optical theorem. This reciprocity theorem, in contrast to the generalized optical theorem, allows for inhomogeneous background properties and does not make use of a far-field condition. This t...

Reflection From Free Surface of a Rotating Generalized Thermo-Piezoelectric Solid Half Space

The analysis of rotational effect on the characteristics of plane waves propagating in a half space of generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium is presented in context of linear theory of thermo-piezoelectricity including Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The governing equations for a rotating generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium are formulated and solved for plane wave solutions to show the p...
