The practical application of wave phenomena involves a number of areas in science and technology. In some non-destructive examination (NDE) techniques, elastic waves are used to determine fundamental properties of the materials or to locate flaws in the structure. In signal proc…
The scientific literature on airflow in the respiratory system is usually associated with rigid ducts. Many studies have been conducted in the frequency domain to assess respiratory system mechanics. Time-domain analyses appear more independent from the hypotheses of periodicity…
To understand the physics of earthquakes, it is important to know what happens during individual events. Dissembling the information about the source process from the recorded seismograms is a difficult and non-unique process, as there are severe trade-offs between many of the s…
The propagation of generalized thermoelastic waves in laminated composites is investigated. The study starts with the development of a continuum mixture theory for a bilaminated isotropic waveguide. The approximate analytical results are found to be useful in getting a qualitati…
