At present, the research on wave propagation in graphene platelet reinforced composite plates focuses on the propagation behavior of bulk waves, in which the effect of boundary condition is ignored, there is no literature report on propagation behaviors of guided waves in graphene platelet reinforced metal foams (GPLRMF) plates. In fact, wave propagation is affected by boundary conditions, so it is necessary to study the propagation characteristics of guided waves. The aim of this paper is to solve this problem. The effective performance of the material was calculated using the mixing law. Equations of motion of GPLRMF plate is derived by using Hamilton's principle. Then, the eigenvalue method is used to obtain the expressions of bending wave, shear wave and longitudinal wave, and the degradation verification is carried out. Finally, the effects of graphene platelets (GPLs) volume fraction, elastic foundation, porosity coefficient, GPLs distribution types and porosity distribution types on the dispersion relations are studied. We find that these factors play an important role in the propagation characteristics and phase velocity of guided waves.

This study presents the investigation of wave dispersion characteristics of a magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded (MEE-FG) nanosize beam utilizing nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT). In this theory, a material length scale parameter is propounded to show the influence of strain gradient stress field, and likewise, a nonlocal parameter is nominated to emphasize on the importance of elastic stress field effects. The material properties of heterogeneous nanobeam are supposed to vary smoothly through the thickness direction based on power-law form. Applying Hamilton's principle, the nonlocal governing equations of MEE-FG nanobeam are derived. Furthermore, to derive the wave frequency, phase velocity and escape frequency of MEE-FG nanobeam, an analytical solution is employed. The validation procedure is performed by comparing the results of present model with results exhibited by previous papers. Results are rendered in the framework of an exact parametric study by changing various parameters such as wave number, nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, gradient index, magnetic potential and electric voltage to show their influence on the wave frequency, phase velocity and escape frequency of MEE-FG nanobeams.

탄성파는 지반 및 지반환경 관련 과업에서 다양한 형태로 활용되어 왔다. 일반적으로는 현장에서 탄성파 탐사를 수행하여 시추조사와 더불어 지반의 물성값을 평가하는 목적으로 사용되고 있으며, 지하공동의 위치파악 등에도 사용되고 있다. 환경복원이 필요한 버려진 부지에 매립된 유류 저장시설의 위치 파악 등 지반환경공학과 관련하여서도 탄성파의 활용은 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 또한 지반의 미소변형률 구간에서의 지반 거동 분석에도 탄성파를 활용하고 있다. 탄성파의 매질 내 이동속도가 주요 인자로서 활용되고 있는데, 이는 시간 영역과 주파수 영역에서 산정할 수 있다. 시간 영역에서의 탄성파의 이동속도 평가방법은 동일 위상을 갖는 특정한 점들의 시간차이를 분석하는 방법, 상호상관법을 활용한 방법으로 나뉠 수 있다. 주파수 영역에서의 탄성파의 이동속도는 진원과 수신점에서의 입력 파형과 수신파형의 위상 차이를 분석하여 산정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시카고 지역에서 채취한 불교란 빙하퇴적 점성토 시료에 벤더 엘리먼트를 이용한 탄성파 시험을 실시, 동일한 탄성파에 대해 여러 가지 산정 방법을 적용하여 탄성파의 이동속도를 분석하였다. 시간영역에서 탄성파의 이동속도를 분석한 결과 데이터로거의 표본화 주파수에 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 분석되었으며, 신호에 포함되어있는 노이즈 및 수신파형의 요철 특성으로 인하여 같은 위상을 갖는 점을 정확히 찾는 것은 불가능하였다. 상호상관법으로 분석한 경우도 입력 파형과 수신파형의 주기의 차이로 인해 탄성파의 정확한 이동속도를 산정하는 것은 불가능하였다. 주파수 영역에서의 이동속도 산정의 경우 영채우기를 통해 주파수 분해능을 개선시킬 수 있어 데이터로거의 표본화 주파수에 영향을 받지 않았다. 과도파 사용으로 인한 지배주파수가 유일 값이 아닌 범위로 나타나는 단점이 있었으나, 지배주파수 범위 내의 탄성파의 이동속도의 범위는 시간 영역에서 산정한 값보다 정밀한 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the wave propagation in generalized thermo elastic plate immersed in fluid is studied based on the Lord-Shulman (LS) and Green-Lindsay (GL) generalized two dimensional theory of thermo elasticity. Two displacement potential functions are introduced to uncouple the equations of motion. The frequency equations that include the interaction between the plate and fluid are obtained by the perfect-slip boundary conditions using the Bessel function solutions. The numerical calculations are carried out for the material Zinc and the computed non-dimensional frequency, phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are plotted as the dispersion curves for the plate with thermally insulated and isothermal boundaries. The wave characteristics are found to be more stable and realistic in the presence of thermal relaxation times and the fluid interaction.

탄성파 수치 모형 계산에 있어서 다양한 방법들이 개발되어 적용되었다. 최근에는 특히 탄성파 수치 모형 계산에 있어 혁신적인 방법인 SEM (Spectral Element Method)가 개발되어 사용되어 왔다. 이 방법은 지형을 자유롭게 표현하는데 있어 유연한 유한요소법의 장점에 정확성을 높인 방법이다. 일반적으로 Weak Formulation 형태의 파동방정식에 육면체 요소와 Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre 적분법을 적용한 방법이 널리 사용된다. 일반적인 SEM에서는 PML (Perfectly Matched Layer)경계조건을 적용하기 어려워 속도-응력 변분식으로 파동방정식을 변경하였다. CFS-PML (Complex frequency Shifted PML)경계조건을 ADE (Auxiliary Differential Equation)방정식으로 변경하여 속도-응력 파동방정식에 적용함으로써 분리할 필요가 없는 PML을 적용한 SEM 수치 모형 계산 알고리듬을 구현하였다. 1차원 수치모형과 3차원 수치모형 실험을 통하여 SEM에 적용한 비분리 CFS-PML이 유한경계에서 인공적으로 반사되는 반사파를 효과적으로 제거하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a study on the wave propagation of functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich nanoplates with soft core resting on a Winkler foundation. The structure is modelled by classical theory. Motion equations are derived by the assumption of nonlocal Eringen theory and energy method. Then, the equations are solved using an exact method for finding phase velocity responses. The effects of Winkler foundation, nonlocal parameters, thickness and mode number on the dispersion of elastic waves are shown. With the increase of spring constant, the speed of wave propagation increases and reaches a uniform state at a higher wave number.

Ultrasonic guided wave testing is a very promising non-destructive testing method for rails, which is of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of railways. On the basis of the semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) method, a analytical model of 59R2 grooved rail was proposed, which is commonly used in the ballastless track of modern tram. The dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves in free rail and supported rail were obtained. Sensitivity analysis was then undertaken to evaluate the effect of rail elastic modulus on the phase velocity and group velocity dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves. The optimal guided wave mode, optimal excitation point and excitation direction suitable for detecting rail integrity were identified by analyzing the frequency, number of modes, and mode shapes. A sinusoidal signal modulated by a Hanning window with a center frequency of 25 kHz was used as the excitation source, and the propagation characteristics of high-frequency ultrasonic guided waves in the rail were obtained. The results show that the rail pad has a relatively little influence on the dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves in the high frequency band, and has a relatively large influence on the dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves in the low frequency band below 4 kHz. The rail elastic modulus has significant influence on the phase velocity in the high frequency band, while the group velocity is greatly affected by the rail elastic modulus in the low frequency band.

This contribution presents an extended one-dimensional theory for piezoelectric beam-type structures with non-ideal electrodes. For these types of electrodes the equipotential area condition is not satisfied. The main motivation of our research is originated from passive vibration control: when an elastic structure is covered by several piezoelectric patches that are linked via resistances and inductances, vibrational energy is efficiently dissipated if the electric network is properly designed. Assuming infinitely small piezoelectric patches that are connected by an infinite number of electrical, in particular resistive and inductive elements, one obtains the Telegrapher's equation for the voltage across the piezoelectric transducer. Embedding this outcome into the framework of Bernoulli-Euler, the final equations are coupled to the wave equations for the longitudinal motion of a bar and to the partial differential equations for the lateral motion of the beam. We present results for the wave propagation of a longitudinal bar for several types of electrode properties. The frequency spectra are computed (phase angle, wave number, wave speed), which point out the effect of resistive and inductive electrodes on wave characteristics. Our results show that electrical damping due to the resistivity of the electrodes is different from internal (=strain velocity dependent) or external (=velocity dependent) mechanical damping. Finally, results are presented, when the structure is excited by a harmonic single force, yielding that resistive-inductive electrodes are suitable candidates for passive vibration control that might be of great interest for practical applications in the future.

Within the scope of the plane-strain state, by utilizing the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed piezoelectric and elastic materials, Lamb wave propagation and the influence of the initial stresses on this propagation in a sandwich plate with pre-stressed piezoelectric face and pre-stressed metal elastic core layers are investigated. Dispersion equations are derived for the extensional and flexural Lamb waves and, as a result of numerical solution to these equations, the corresponding dispersion curves for the first (fundamental) and second modes are constructed. Concrete numerical results are obtained for the cases where the face layers' materials are PZT-2 or PZT-6B, but the material of the middle layer is Steel (St) or Aluminum (Al). Sandwich plates PZT-2/St/PZT-2, PZT-2/Al/PZT-2, PZT-6B/St/PZT-6B and PZT-6B/Al/PZT-6B are examined and the influence of the problem parameters such as piezoelectric and dielectric constants, layer thickness ratios and third order elastic constants of the St and Al on the effects of the initial stresses on the wave propagation velocity is studied.

화강암의 응력하에서의 손상발달특성을 연구하기 위해 국내의 조립, 중립, 세립 화강암 시료를 채취하였으며, 일축압축에 의한 손상 전과 후에 탄성파속도시험, 투수성시험이 시료의 물리적 특성을 파악하기 위해 수행되었고, 시료의 단면에 발생된 크랙의 육안관찰을 용이하게 하기 위하여 셀롤로즈 아세테이트 필름 복제법이 사용되었다. 그리고 아세테이트필 상의 크랙을 좀더 명확하게 촬영하기 위해, 암시야조명을 이용한 근접촬영법이 적용되었다. 개인용 컴퓨터와 그래픽 프로그램을 이용하여 크랙을 확대 후 스케치하여 측정함으로써 시료단면에 발생한 크랙을 입도 별로 비교 분석하였다. 손상이 발생한 후, 조립·중립화강암이 세립화강암에 비해 상대적으로 더 낮은 탄성파속도, 더 높은 투수성을 가졌으며, 더 많은 크랙 발생을 보였다.
