We study the diffusion of anti-plane elastic waves in a two dimensional continuum by many, randomly placed, screw dislocations. Building on a previously developed theory for coherent propagation of such waves, the incoherent ...

A class of constitutive relations for elastic bodies has been proposed recently, where the linearized strain tensor is expressed as a nonlinear function of the stress tensor. Considering this new type of constitutive ...

We study the propagation of waves in an elastic tube filled with an inviscid fluid. We consider the case of inhomogeneity whose mechanical and geometrical properties vary in space. We deduce a system of equations of the ...

In this work, the problem of surface waves in an isotropic elastic half-space with impedance boundary conditions is investigated. It is assumed that the boundary is free of normal traction and the shear traction varies ...

The propagation of elastic waves in polycrystals is revisited, with an emphasis on configurations relevant to the study of ice. Randomly oriented hexagonal single crystals are considered with specific, nonuniform, probability ...
