The monochromatic hyperbolic neutron density wave is conceived as a Rayleigh-like wave with mixed transverse and longitudinal components. It is proved for the first time that the absolute ratio of the longitudinal to transverse interfering components, varies, with increasing the frequency of this wave, from zero to 1. Such a limited variation is to be coined as vibrational enhancement of evolutionary one-speed neutron transport.

Many works have been done in classical theory of thermoelasticity in materials with memory by researchers like Nunziato, Chen and Gurtine and many others. No work is located in generalized thermoelasticity regarding materials with memory till date. The present paper deals with the wave propagation in materials with memory in generalized thermoelasticity. Plane progressive waves and Rayleigh waves have been discussed in details. In the classical theory of heat conduction it was observed that heat propagates with infinite speed. This paradox has been removed in the present discussion. The set of governing equations has been developed in the present analysis. The results of wave velocity and attenuation coefficient corresponding to low and high frequency have been obtained. For thermal wave the results show appreciable differences with those in the usual thermoelasticity theory.

The contact acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system is time-consuming and costly for monitoring concrete structures in large scope, in addition, the great difference in acoustic impedance between air and concrete makes the detection process inconvenient. In this work, we broaden the conventional AE source localization method for concrete to the non-contact (air-coupled) micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) microphones array, which collects the energy-rich leaky Rayleigh waves, instead of the relatively weak P-wave. Finite element method was used for the numerical simulations, it is shown that the propagation velocity of leaky Rayleigh waves traveling along the air-concrete interface agrees with the corresponding theoretical properties of Lamb wave modes in an infinite concrete slab. This structures the basis for implementing a non-contact AE source location approach. Based on the experience gained from numerical studies, experimental studies on the proposed air-coupled AE source location in concrete slabs are carried out. Finally, it is shown that the locating map of AE source can be determined using the proposed system, and the accuracy is sufficient for most field monitoring applications on large plate-like concrete structures, such as tunnel lining and bridge deck.

종래의 탄성파 모델링은 지표를 수평면으로 가정하고 그 아래쪽에 여러 개의 반사면에 대한 모델링이 대부분 이었다. 그러나, 실제 탐사에서는 복잡한 지형을 가진 지표에서 탐사가 수행되기 때문에 탄성 매질에서의 반응을 명확하게 구분해 내는 것이 힘들다. 지표에 탄성파 전파특성을 규명하기 위하여 모델에 지형을 고려할 수 있도록 하여 시간영역 유한요소법을 이용하여 매질의 반응을 구하였다. 이러한 이러한 알고리즘을 이용하여 지표에서 진원을 가했을 때 수평 및 제방(mound), 채널(channel)등의 구조로부터 지표의 수신기에서 합성 탄성파 기록을 관찰하고, 스냅사진(snapshot)을 얻어냄으로써 해석해와 잘 일치함을 확인하였고, 지표 및 지하 반사면에 의한 복잡한 탄성파의 전파 양상을 파악할 수 있었다. 불규칙 지표면을 따라 전파하는 표면파가 모서리에서 새로운 진원으로 작용하여 큰 잡음이 생성됨을 관찰하였고, 지표를 따라 전파하는 높은 에너지의 레일리파, 상대적으로 낮은 압축파, 전단파 등의 전파 양상으로부터 파의 천이 상태를 관찰할 수 있었다.

This work is aimed to explore a possibility of using the generalized Lamb waves for nondestructive evaluation of the bonding quality of layered substrates. For this purpose, we prepared two sets of specimens with imperfect bonding at their interfaces; 1) TiN-coated specimens with various wear conditions, and 2) CVD diamond specimens with various cleaning conditions. A dispersion simulation performed for layered substrates with imperfect interfaces are carried out to get the characteristics of dispersion curves that can be used for bonding quality evaluation. Then the characteristics of dispersion curves of the fabricated specimens are experimentally determined by use of an ultrasonic backward radiation measurement technique. The results obtained in the present study show that the lowest velocity mode (Rayleigh-like) of the generalized Lamb waves are sensitively affected by the bonding quality. Therefore, the generalized Lamb waves can be applied for nondestructive evaluation of imperfect bonding quality in various layered substrates.
