The transient response of an infinite orthotropic strip subjected to a transverse load is investigated using an analytical method in this work. The material properties of [...]

The analytical solution for transient waves caused by transverse impact on an infinite layered strip with free-free boundaries is presented in this work. The strip is com [...]

It is proved that the general frequency equation for plane-stress nonaxisymmetric disc motions tends for the first mode of propagation and for wavelengths very short when [...]

The traditional way of deriving the secular equation for Rayleigh waves propagating along the stress-free edge of a thin semi-infinite composite is presented. It means th [...]

This work concerns the transient response of an infinite two-layered strip subjected to a transverse load of impact character. The material of each layer is assumed to be [...]

When the method of integral transforms is used for solving the system of PDEs describing a wave problem solved, one has to overcome the problem of inverse transform. This [...]

The secular equation for the surface (Rayleigh–edge) waves propagating in a thin semiinfinite anisotropic elastic continuum is derived. The secular equation is obtained [...]

The most common constitutive relation in acoustoelasticity is the second-order constitutive relation expressed in terms of the Green-Lagrange strain tensor. The wave velo [...]
