A numerical model is introduced to simulate propagation, reflection, and scattering of elastic waves in solids. The model consists of mass points and linear springs, interconnected with in a lattice structure; hence, its name, the mass-spring lattice model (MSLM). The MSLM has successfully been applied to the numerical simulation and visualization of various elastic wave phenomena involved in ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT). This method is useful to simulate, design, or analyze actual testing. Some representative examples of numerical simulation using the MSLM are presented, and future work necessary for its further development Is addressed.

The present paper is devoted to study SH-wave propagation in heterogeneous layer laying over an inhomogeneous isotropic elastic half-space. The dispersion relation for propagation of said waves is derived with Green's function method and Fourier transform. As a special case when the upper layer and lower half-space are homogeneous, our derived equation is in agreement with the general equation of Love wave. Numerically, it is observed that the velocity of SH-wave increases with the increase of inhomogeneity parameter.

The near field is discretized into finite elements, and the far field into infinite elements. Closed form far-field solutions to three fundamental problems are used as the shape functions of the infinite elements. Such infinite elements are capable of transmitting all surface and body waves.

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.

종래의 탄성파 모델링은 지표를 수평면으로 가정하고 그 아래쪽에 여러 개의 반사면에 대한 모델링이 대부분 이었다. 그러나, 실제 탐사에서는 복잡한 지형을 가진 지표에서 탐사가 수행되기 때문에 탄성 매질에서의 반응을 명확하게 구분해 내는 것이 힘들다. 지표에 탄성파 전파특성을 규명하기 위하여 모델에 지형을 고려할 수 있도록 하여 시간영역 유한요소법을 이용하여 매질의 반응을 구하였다. 이러한 이러한 알고리즘을 이용하여 지표에서 진원을 가했을 때 수평 및 제방(mound), 채널(channel)등의 구조로부터 지표의 수신기에서 합성 탄성파 기록을 관찰하고, 스냅사진(snapshot)을 얻어냄으로써 해석해와 잘 일치함을 확인하였고, 지표 및 지하 반사면에 의한 복잡한 탄성파의 전파 양상을 파악할 수 있었다. 불규칙 지표면을 따라 전파하는 표면파가 모서리에서 새로운 진원으로 작용하여 큰 잡음이 생성됨을 관찰하였고, 지표를 따라 전파하는 높은 에너지의 레일리파, 상대적으로 낮은 압축파, 전단파 등의 전파 양상으로부터 파의 천이 상태를 관찰할 수 있었다.

대기의 온도가 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하로 내려가면 지표면의 물이 얼기 시작한다. 체적팽창을 수반하는 지반의 동결현상은 흙의 거동에 영향을 미치며 지반구조물의 심각한 피해를 야기한다. 본 연구의 목적은 지표면에서 지반 내부로 진행되는 자연적인 동결현상을 반영할 수 있도록 제작된 동결용 셀을 이용하여 모래-실트 혼합토의 온도변화에 따른 탄성파의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 나일론으로 제작된 동결용 셀에 모래와 실트로 구성된 시료를 조성한 후 시료의 깊이별로 상부, 중앙부 및 하부에 설치된 세 쌍의 벤더 엘리먼트와 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트를 이용하여 전단파와 압축파를 측정하였다. 시료의 온도가 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $-10^{\circ}C$로 변하는 동안 시료의 깊이에 따른 탄성파 속도, 공진주파수, 진폭을 연속적으로 측정하였다. 시료가 동결됨에 따라 전단파와 압축파의 속도 및 공진주파수는 $0^{\circ}C$에서 큰 변화를 보였으며, 전단파와 압축파의 진폭은 각기 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 상온에서 전단파 속도는 유효응력의 영향을 받지만 흙이 동결된 후에는 흙입자와 얼음의 결합력에 큰 영향을 받는다. 본 연구는 흙의 동결에 따른 탄성파 특성의 기초적인 정보를 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Two dimensional numerical models and physical models have been developed to study the highly nonlinear interactions between waves and breakwaters, but several of these models consider the effects of the structural dynamic responses and the shape of the breakwater axis on the wave pressures. In this study, a multi-material Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method is developed to simulate the nonlinear interactions between nonlinear waves and elastic seawalls on a coastal rubble mound breakwater, and is validated experimentally. In the experiment, a solitary wave is generated and used with a physical breakwater model. The wave impact is validated computationally using a breakwater - flume coupling model that replicates the physical model. The computational results, including those for the wave pressure and the water-on-deck, are in good agreement with the experimental results. A local breakwater model is used to discuss the effects of the structural dynamic response and different design parameters of the breakwater on wave loads, together with pressure distribution up the seawall. A large-scale breakwater model is used to numerically study the large-scale wave impact problem and the horizontal distribution of the wave pressures on the seawalls.

The purpose of this work is to suggest a new non-contact damage detection method for rotating ferromagnetic shafts. The presence and the location of a damage in rotating shafts are assessed by means of longitudinal elastic waves propagating along the shafts. These waves are measured by non-contact magnetostrictive sensors consisting of a coil and bias magnets. This paper shows the effectiveness of the sensors in the damage detection of rotating shafts. Several issues occurring in the application of the sensors to rotating shafts are carefully investigated.

The characteristics of elastic waves emanated from crack initiation in 6061 aluminum alloy subjected to fatigue loading are investigated through experiments. The objective of the study is to determine the differences in the properties of the signals generated from fatigue test and also to examine if the sources of the waves could be identified from the temporal and spectral characteristics of the acoustic emission (AE) waveforms. The signals are recorded using nonresonant, flat, broadband transducers attached to the surface of the alloy specimens. The time dependence and power spectra of the signals recorded during the tests were examined and classified according to their special features. Six distinct types of signals were observed. The waveforms and their power spectra were found to be dependent on the crack propagation stage and the type of fracture associated with the signals. The potential application of the approach in health monitoring of structural components using a network of surface mounted broadband sensors is discussed.

Turbulent boundary layer pressure fluctuation exerted on the surface of a structure can give rise to a elastic stress wave on the surface of the structure. The stress wave so called surface wave, will not only propagate along the surface of structure but also penerate into the structure. To reduce the transmission of stress wave into the structure the elastomer layer is usually attactched on the surface of structure. The transfer function, which is defined herein as the ratio of stress waves at the surface and bottom of the elastomer layer, is derved by use of the cylindrical coordinates system. The elastodynamics of the elastomer layer subjected to the turbulent boundary layer pressure fluctuation is represented by the simplified one degree-of-freedom model for easy prediction of the stress wave transmission as well as efficient design of the elastomer layer.
