The paper discuses the effect of initial stresses on the reflection coefficients of plane waves in a dissipative medium. Basic governing equations are formulated in context of Biot's incremental deformation theory. These governing equations are solved analytically to obtain the dimensional phase velocities of plane waves propagating in plane of symmetry. Closed-form expressions for the reflecti...

This study carries out the edge-reflection analysis of guided waves in a 3-D plate. First, we excite an incident guided wave by applying a normal traction on the surface of a 3-D plate. The excited wave field is obtained in the frequency and wavenumber domains. Secondly, we perform the edge-reflection analysis in the frequency and wavenumber domains by applying the mode-decomposition method to ...

background: similar to the thermoluminescence (tl) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in tl crystals for dosimetry purposes. these optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. materials and methods: single crystals of kbr and kcl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor powders. c...

Given a domain G, a reflection vector field d(·) on ∂G, the boundary of G, and drift and dispersion coefficients b(·) and σ(·), let L be the usual second-order elliptic operator associated with b(·) and σ(·). Under mild assumptions on the coefficients and reflection vector field, it is shown that when the associated submartingale problem is well posed, a probability measure π on Ḡ with π(∂G) = ...

An algorithm to estimate reflection coefficient properties of materials based on code multipath errors is developed and tested in two urban environments. The algorithm extends an existing model that integrates 3D structure models, electromagnetic ray-tracing algorithms, antenna pattern measurements, and receiver tracking loop models to simulate code multipath errors. Instead of using the Fresne...
