In this paper, a stress wave model is established to describe the three states (separate, contact and impact) of clearance joints. Based on this stress wave model, the propagation characteristics of stress wave generated in clearance joints is revealed. First, the stress wave model of clearance joints is established based on the viscoelastic theory. Then, the reflection and transmission characteristics of stress wave with different boundaries are studied, and the propagation of stress wave in viscoelastic rods is described by the characteristics method. Finally, the stress wave propagation in clearance joints with three states is analyzed to validate the proposed model and method. The results show the clearance sizes, initial axial speeds and material parameters have important influences on the stress wave propagation, and the new stress waves will generate when the clearance joint in contact and impact states, and there exist some high stress region near contact area of clearance joints when the incident waves are superposed with reflection waves, which may speed up the damage of joints.

In this paper, we present an indoor propagation prediction model which is based on a three-dimensional ray-tracing technique. In this model, instead of considering all obstacles such as furnitures and fixtures, etc., only main obstacles to the propagation such as walls, ceiling and floors are modeled as slabs with finite thickness and conductivity, and the significant phenomena of propagation are considered, so we can calculate simply and predict accurately the propagation losses. The propagating rays are considered to be reflected and transmitted specularly at the boundaries of obstacles, and diffracted at edges. The reflection and transmission losses on flat obstacles are calculated by using ray tracing method, and the diffraction losses at edges are calculated by using the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) for finite conductivity media. The results simulated for some cases by this propagation model good agree with the measured value of pathloss.

In this research, we study the propagation of longitudinal and transverse waves through a metal rod including a liquid layer using computational and experimental analyses. The propagation characteristics of longitudinal and transverse waves obtained by the computational and experimental analyses were consistent with the wave propagation theory for both cases, that is, the homogeneous metal rod and the metal rod including a liquid layer. The fluid-structure interaction modeling technique developed for the computational wave propagation analysis in this research can be applied to the more complex structures including solid-liquid interfaces.

In the Structural Health Monitoring field, the piezoelectric elements are bonded the surface of the structures for generating the guided wave. For this reason, the structures become two-layer beam. It is very important to know precisely the dynamic characteristic of structures and also predict precisely the wave propagation in structures. Because wave propagation is very useful to analysis the dynamic characteristic of structures. In this paper, the governing equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's principle by applying the Timoshenko beam theory and Mindlin-Herrmann rod theory at the first. and then the wave propagations in a composite beams with a surface-bonded piezoelectric are examined.

Neural network technique is widely employed in the fields of signal processing, control systems, pattern recognition, etc. Learning of neural networks is an important procedure to accomplish dynamic system modeling. This paper presents a novel learning approach for differential neural network models based on the Kalman-Bucy filter theory. We construct an augmented state vector including original neural state and parameter vectors and derive a state estimation rule avoiding gradient function terms which involve to the conventional neural learning methods such as a back-propagation approach. We carry out numerical simulation to evaluate the proposed learning approach in nonlinear system modeling. By comparing to the well-known back-propagation approach and Kalman-Bucy filtering, its superiority is additionally proved under stochastic system environments.

A mushy layer of dendritic crystals is often formed during solidification of a binary mixture. Natural convection in the mushy layer is analyzed by using the propagation theory we have developed. The critical Rayleigh numbers for the onset of convection are evaluated numerically using the self-similar stability equations based on Emms and Fowler's model. The present results approach those from quasi-static stability analysis in the limit of a large superheat or a small growth rate of the mushy layer.

A theoretical attempt is made to analyze the dynamic contact force and response of laminated composite beams subjected to the transverse impact of steel balls. A beam finite element model based on the modified theory for laminated composites in conjunction with static contact laws is formulated for the theoretical investigation. Finally, it is shown that the present results are in good agreement with some existing solutions or wave propagation theory.

A theoretical formula that is based on the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) is proposed for computing sound diffraction by multiple wedges, barriers, and polygonal-like shapes. The formula can treat both convex and concave edges, where edges mayor may not be inter-connected. Comparisons of theoretical predictions with other results done by the BEM or experiments for scaled model confirm the accuracy of the present formula. Numerical examples such as double wedges and doubly inclined barrier show that when there exist several diffraction paths for given source and receiver positions, the insertion loss is dominated by the diffraction associated with the shortest propagation path.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the surface waves in fibre-reinforced anisotropic thermoelastic medium subjected to gravity field. The theory of generalized surface waves has firstly developed and then it has been employed to investigate particular cases of waves, viz., Stoneley waves, Rayleigh waves and Love waves. The analytical expressions for displacement components, force stress and temperature distribution are obtained in the physical domain by using the harmonic vibrations. The wave velocity equations have been obtained in different cases. The numerical results are given and presented graphically in Green-Lindsay and Lord-Shulman theory of thermoelasticity. Comparison was made with the results obtained in the presence and absence of gravity, anisotropy, relaxation times and parameters for fibrereinforced of the material medium. The results indicate that the effect of gravity, anisotropy, relaxation times and parameters for fibre-reinforced of the material medium are very pronounced.

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.
