Dispersive body waves

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1962
Although the attenuation of body waves in an infinite medium has often been considered, little emphasis is usually given to the attendant dispersion, which is a necessary consequence of the medium absorption and is determined unambiguously by it. Dispersion equations are obtained from the application of an integral transform in the frequency domain ...

Principal Waves in Monotropic Laminated Bodies

Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 1997
The paper deals with the propagation of principal waves (longitudinal or transverse) in monotropic laminated bodies. The authors investigate in detail three types of longitudinal principal waves -- planar, cylindrical and spherical -- in the direction of the axis of monotropy or super monotropy.

Transient wave response of the violin body

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990
In this investigation, the dispersive, transient wave propagation field of a complete violin excited by a mechanically induced impulse at the top of the bridge is presented. By means of double pulsed holographic interferometry with a ruby laser as light source the propagating wave field is recorded.

EXCEPTIONAL WAVES IN A CONSTRAINED ELASTIC BODY

The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 1986
An exceptional wave is a homogeneous plane elastic wave of small amplitude which leaves unchanged the traction acting on a family of parallel planes in the transmitting body. Such waves are important to the understanding of a variety of elastic wave phenomena.

Computations of fully nonlinear three-dimensional wave–wave and wave–body interactions. Part 2. Nonlinear waves and forces on a body

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2001
The mixed-Eulerian–Lagrangian method using high-order boundary elements, described in Xue et al. (2001) for the simulation of fully nonlinear three-dimensional wave–wave and wave–body interactions, is here extended and applied to the study of two nonlinear three-dimensional wave–body problems: (a) the development of bow waves on an advancing ship ...

Second–order wave–diffraction by an axisymmetric body in monochromatic waves

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 1997
Summary: An analysis is given for the diffraction of a plane monochromatic incident gravity wave by an axisymmetric structure. The formulation is exact to second-order in the sense of a Stokes expansion where wave steepness is the perturbation parameter.

Spherical wave scattering by slender bodies

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 1993
The problem of the scattering of a spherical acoustic wave by rigid slender bodies of revolution is investigated theoretically from a formalism based on the matched asymptotic expansion method. It is an extension of a formulation that was originally derived for incident plane waves with the so-called slender-body approximation.

Performing the Lesbian Body—The New Wave

Journal of Lesbian Studies, 1998
Abstract In recent years a crop of fine, exhilarating new talent has burst onto the lesbian performance scene. It has thrown up a range of unique dyke representations-from big hair, high drag, post-modern stripping and reformed fan dancing through to irony and pigtails.

GRAPHS OF THREE-BODY WAVE FUNCTIONS

Nuclear Physics A, 1981
Abstract Plots of the numerical solutions of the Faddeev equations in configuration space are presented for both bound and scattering three-body systems. Comparisons of the Faddeev amplitudes with the total wave functions are made for various nucleon-nucleon interactions.
