چکیده

The differential equation for the fourth-order statistical moment of the field of a finite beam propagating in a statistically homogeneous and isotropic two-dimensional random medium is solved numerically. Results are presented for the variance and covariance of irradiance scintillations of a Gaussian beam that propagates in a medium with a Gaussian correlation function. It is shown that the range dependence of the variance is highly dependent on the ratio D/ln (D) is the initial beam width; ln is the correlation length of the medium) and approaches that of a plane wave for large enough D/ln. An increase in the variance toward the edge of the beam is also manifested.

An Experimental Case Study on Uncertainty Quantification in Structural Dynamics

The consideration of uncertainties in numerical models to obtain the probabilistic descriptions of vibration response is becoming more desirable for industrial scale finite element models. Broadly speaking, there are two ‘parts’ in this problem. The first is the quantification of parametric and nonparametric uncertainties associated with the model and the second is the propagation of uncertaint...

In this paper, wave propagation method was applied to detect damage of structures. Spectral Finite Element Method (SFEM) was used to analyze wave propagation in structures. Two types of structures i.e. rod and Euler-Bernoulli beam were modelled using spectral elements. The advantage of spectral finite element over conventional Finite Element Method (FEM), in wave propagation problems, is its...

Numerical solutions for the fourth moment of a finite beam propagating in a random medium

Numerical solutions of the.fourth-moment differential equation are obtained for a finite, initially Gaussian beam propagating in a. two-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic random medium with a Gaussian correlation function. In addition to the covariance of the intensity fluctuations, the full spatial dependence of the fourth moment of the propagating field is described for several beam diamet...
