Using the Partial Wave Method for Wave Structure Calculation and the Conceptual Interpretation of Elastodynamic Guided Waves

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
The partial-wave method takes advantage of the Christoffel equation’s generality to represent waves within a waveguide. More specifically, the partial-wave method is well known for its usefulness when calculating dispersion curves for multilayered ...

Similarity rules for nonlinear Kerr-like slab optical waveguides [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
It is shown that the stationary waveguiding properties of TE guided waves in a slab optical waveguide with a nonlinear Kerr-like bounding medium can be described in a compact way by means of the usual normalized effective modal index (b) and a set of ...

Characterization of the Use of Low Frequency Ultrasonic Guided Waves to Detect Fouling Deposition in Pipelines

open access: yesSensors, 2018
The accumulation of fouling within a structure is a well-known and costly problem across many industries. The build-up is dependent on the environmental conditions surrounding the fouled structure.

Comment on ``Enhanced transmission of light through a gold film due to excitation of standing surface-plasmon Bloch waves"

open access: yes, 2007
The purpose of this comment is first to correct a misapprehension of the role played by composite wave diffraction on surface-wave generation at subwavelength structures and second to point out that periodic Bloch structures are unnecessary for the ...

Nonlinear guided waves and symmetry breaking in left-handed waveguides

open access: yes, 2003
We analyze nonlinear guided waves in a planar waveguide made of a left-handed material surrounded by a Kerr-like nonlinear dielectric. We predict that such a waveguide can support fast and slow symmetric and antisymmetric nonlinear modes.

Guided-jet waves

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics
Guided-jet waves have been shown to close resonance loops in a myriad of problems such as screech and impingement tones in jets. These discrete, upstream-travelling waves have long been identified in linear-stability models of jet flows, but in this work they are instead considered in the context of an acoustic-scattering problem.

Open Guided Waves: online platform for ultrasonic guided wave measurements [PDF]

open access: yesStructural Health Monitoring, 2018
Ultrasonic guided waves have been used successfully in structural health monitoring systems to detect damage in isotropic and composite materials with simple and complex geometry. A limitation of current research is given by a lack of freely available benchmark measurements to comparatively evaluate existing methods.

Negative reflection of elastic guided waves in chaotic and random scattering media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The propagation of waves in complex media can be harnessed either by taming the incident wave-field impinging on the medium or by forcing waves along desired paths through its careful design.

Nonlinear guided waves and spatial solitons in a periodic layered medium

open access: yes, 2001
We overview the properties of nonlinear guided waves and (bright and dark) spatial optical solitons in a periodic medium created by a sequence of linear and nonlinear layers.

Frequency-sweep examination for wave mode identification in multimodal ultrasonic guided wave signal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Ultrasonic guided waves can be used to assess and monitor long elements of a structure from a single position.
