Boundary Reflections of Rolling Waves in Cubic Anisotropic Material

open access: yesFrontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021
Rolling waves have unconventional circular polarizations enabled by the equal-speed propagation of longitudinal and transverse waves in elastic solids. They can transport non-paraxial intrinsic (i.e. spin) mechanical angular momentum in the media.

Reflected waves and quantum gravity

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2023
In the context of canonical quantum gravity, we consider the effects of a non-standard expression for the gravitational wave function on the evolution of inflationary perturbations. Such an expression and its effects may be generated by a sudden variation in the (nearly constant) inflaton potential.

The Influence of Crest Width and Working States on Wave Transmission of Pile–Rock Breakwaters in the Coastal Mekong Delta

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The coastline of the Ca Mau and Kien Giang provinces in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta has been severely eroded in recent decades. Pile–Rock Breakwaters (PRBWs) are among the most widely adopted structures for controlling shoreline erosion in this region ...

Physical Experimental Study on the Wave Reflection and Run-Up of a New Ecological Hollow Cube

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Implementing quadrangular hollow blocks on breakwaters is a common method for wave mitigation and ocean disaster prevention. In order to improve the wave-damping performance of conventional quadrangular hollow blocks, a new quadrangular hollow block is ...

Limitations of augmentation index in the assessment of wave reflection in normotensive healthy individuals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
ObjectivesAugmentation index (AIx) is widely used as a measure of wave reflection. We compared the relationship between AIx and age, height and sex with 'gold standard' measures of wave reflection derived from measurements of pressure and flow to ...

An Efficient Damage Quantification Method for Cylindrical Structures Enhanced by a Dry-Point-Contact Torsional-Wave Transducer

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Quantification of damage sizes in cylindrical structures such as pipes and rods is of paramount importance in various industries. This work proposes an efficient damage quantification method by using a dry-point-contact (DPC) transducer based on the non ...

Wave transmission and reflection of waves “The myth is in their use”

open access: yesArtery Research, 2012
Arterial input impedance, as complete description of the arterial system, is explained by waves and wave reflection. Without wave reflections input impedance would equal aortic characteristic impedance and pressure and flow wave shapes would be similar.

Reflection of Strong Blast Waves [PDF]

open access: yesThe Physics of Fluids, 1964
The reflection of strong point-source blast waves is studied using the continuum concept of flow of ideal gases. Methods of obtaining the upper and lower bounds as well as a Taylor series expansion of the position of the reflected shock is considered. The procedure of studying the flow variables near the reflected shock is also described.

On the Reflection of a Spherical Sound Wave from a Finite Size Surface

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Room acoustics computer models based on geometrical acoustics usually handle the sound reflections by the assumption of plane waves. However, if the sound source is a point source, which is usually the case, the spherical wave reflection would be more ...

Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) in a Patient With Compound Heterozygous OPA1 Variants: Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare, life‐threatening neurological emergency with unclear etiology in many cases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to disease‐causing genetic variants, is increasingly recognized as a cause, with each gene producing distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.
