Wave propagation analysis of a porous graphene platelet reinforced (GPLR) nanocomposite shell is investigated for the first time. The homogenization of the utilized material is procured by extending the Halpin-Tsai relations for the porous nanocomposite. Both symmetric and asymmetric porosity distributions are regarded in this analysis. The equations of the shell's motion are derived according to Hamilton's principle coupled with the kinematic relations of the first-order shear deformation theory of the shells. The obtained governing equations are considered to be solved via an analytical solution which includes two longitudinal and circumferential wave numbers. The accuracy of the presented formulations is examined by comparing the results of this method with those reported by former authors. The simulations reveal a stiffness decrease in the cases which porosity influences are regarded. Also, one must pay attention to the effects of longitudinal wave number on the wave dispersion curves of the nanocomposite structure.

In this paper, we have investigated shear horizontal wave propagation in a layered structure, consisting of granular macromorphic rock (Dionysos Marble) substrate underlying a viscoelastic layer of finite thickness. SH waves characteristics are affected by the material properties of both substrate and the coating. The effects of microstructural parameter "characteristic length" of the substrate, along with heterogeneity, internal friction and thickness of viscoelastic layer are studied on the dispersion curves. Dispersion equation for SH wave is derived. Real and damping phase velocities of SH waves are studied against dimensionless wave number, for different combinations of various parameters involved in the problem.

It is important to understand the vibrating behavior of plate structures for many engineering applications. In this study, vibration characteristics of strip plates which have finite width and infinite length are investigated theoretically and numerically. The waveguide finite element approach is used in this study which is known as an effect tool for waveguide structures. WFE method requires only cross-sectional FE model and uses theoretical harmonic solutions for the wave propagation along the longitudinal direction. First of all for a simple strip plate, WFE results are compared with theoretical ones such as the dispersion diagrams, point mobilities, etc. to validate the numerical model. Then in the numerical analysis, the several different types of longitudinal stiffeners are included to the plate model to investigate the effects of the stiffeners in terms of the dispersion curves and mobilities.

An analytical model is consider to scrutinize axisymmetric wave propagation in multiferroic hollow cylinder with rotating and initial stressed forces, where a piezomagnetic (PM) material layer is bonded to a piezoelectric (PE) cylinder together by Linear elastic materials with voids. Both distinct material combos are taken into account. Three displacement potential functions are introduced to uncouple the equations of motion, electric and magnetic induction. The numerical calculations are carried out for the non-dimensional frequency by fixing wave number and thickness. The arrived outputs are plotted as the dispersion curves for different layers. The results obtained in this paper can offer significance to the application of PE/PM composite hollow cylinder via LEMV and CFRP layers for the acoustic wave and microwave technologies.

In order to understand long range wave propagation in railway tracks, it is required to identify how far vibrations can travel along a rail. To answer this question, the attenuation characteristics of the main propagating waves are required as a function of distance. In this work, it is identified which wave types predominantly propagate on various regions of the rail cross-section. Then decay rates of propagating waves in railway tracks are investigated for frequencies up to 80 kHz. A numerical method called the Wavenumber Finite Element (WFE) method is utilized to predict dispersion curves and decay rates for a rail on a continuous foundation. In order to validate the simulated results, measurements have been performed on a test track and an operational railway track. The measured results are compared with the output of the simulations and good agreements are found between them.

A Lamb wave guided by a plate structure has dispersive characteristics because phase and group velocity change with the variation of frequency and thickness. The Lamb wave has two modes, symmetric and anti-symmetric mode, which propagates symmetrically and non-symmetrically with respect to centerline. In this paper, the derivation of Lamb wave equation with anisotropic material property is investigated. The phase velocity and group velocity dispersion curves are shown using the stiffness matrix of composite materials with the variation of angle.

표면파 탐사는 탄성파를 이용한 여러 가지 다른 탐사 방법과 비교하여 독특한 장점들을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 최근에 개발되기 시작하여 아직 연구 결과가 많이 축적되지 않은 분야이다. 이 연구에서는 지반 공학적 성질이 서로 다를 것으로 예상되는 여러 지역에서 표면파 탐사자료를 획득하여 그 분산곡선의 특징을 찾아보았다. 또한 분산곡선을 역산하여 S파 속도구조를 구하여 이를 시추조사 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 퇴적물상이나 암석상의 변화가 S파속도의 급격한 변화와 관련되어 있음을 확인하였다. 이것은 표면파 탐사법을 이용하여 퇴적물이나 암석의 물리적 성질이 급격하게 변화하는 경계면을 구별할 수 있는 가능성을 시사한다.

이방성을 지닌 복합재료에서 측정한 군속도와 램파 방정식을 이용하여 계산한 군속도는 서로 일치하지 않는다. 이러한 차이는 이방성 재료에서 군속도 방향과 위상속도 방향이 서로 일치하지 않는 현상에서 기인된 것이다. 본 연구에서는 램파 분산방정식을 이용하여 이방성을 지닌 단일방향, 양방향, 준등방성 복합재료 판에서 $S_0$모드 위상속도곡선을 전파 방향 변화에 따라 구하고, 위상속도의 역수 값으로 구성되는 slowness surface를 이용하여 군속도의 방향과 크기를 결정하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 군속도는 측정한 군속도와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

판재를 따라 전파하는 Lamb wave (램파)는 주파수에 따라 속도가 변하는 분산특성을 갖는다. 일반적으로 등방성 재료에서는 파수 벡터 방향과 에너지 흐름 방향은 같아, 파면이 원형을 유지하면서 전파하지만, 복합재료와 같이 이방성재료에서는 파수 벡터와 에너지 흐름 방향이 서로 다르다. 따라서 이방성 재료에서 하나의 속도에서 다른 속도로 전환하려면 방향을 교정해야 하고 이에 따라 크기도 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료 판재에서 전파하는 램파 분산방정식을 이용하여 대칭, 비대칭 모드의 분산선도를 작성하였고, 각도에 따라구한 위상속도 분산선도에서 얻어진 위상속도 값으로 slowness surface를 구한 후, 이로부터 군속도의 크기와 방향을 교정하였고, 이를 실험적으로 측정한 속도값과 비교하여 서로 일치함을 확인하였다.

Ultrasonic guided waves have attracted increasing attention for non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridge cables. They offer advantages like single measurement, wide coverage of acoustical field, and long-range propagation capability. To design defect detection systems, it is essential to understand how guided waves propagate in cables and how to select the optimal excitation frequency and mode. However, certain cable characteristics such as multiple wires, anchorage, and polyethylene (PE) sheath increase the complexity in analyzing the guided wave propagation. In this study, guided wave modes for multi-wire bridge cables are identified by using a semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) technique to obtain relevant dispersion curves. Numerical results indicated that the number of guided wave modes increases, the length of the flat region with a low frequency of L(0,1) mode becomes shorter, and the cutoff frequency for high order longitudinal wave modes becomes lower, as the number of steel wires in a cable increases. These findings were used in design of transducers for defect detection and selection of the optimal wave mode and frequency for subsequent experiments. A magnetostrictive transducer system was used to excite and detect the guided waves. The applicability of the proposed approach for detecting and locating wire breakages was demonstrated for a cable with 37 wires. The present ultrasonic guided wave method has been found to be very responsive to the number of brokenwires and is thus capable of detecting defects with varying sizes.
