The incremental shear modulus is calculated for infinitesimal shear of an incompressible isotropic elastic material in a state of pure homogeneous deformation. Necessary and sufficient conditions that it be positive are obtained. These conditions are related to the Hadamard conditions for propagation of a wave of infinitesimal amplitude in the deformed material. (Author)

The propagation of rf waves launched in the end cell and central of the tandem mirror propulsion device has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretically, a computer code has been developed to study the wave propagation in a nonhomogeneous magnetic field. It was found that the amplitude of the wave excited in the plasma peaked while approaching the resonance, but then damped out, indicating strong absorption of the wave by the plasma. The absorption took place near the...

An approximate theory of dynamics of rods was formulated by Mindlin and Herrmann in 1951. The unique feature of this theory is that it can model the longitudinal as well as the radial motions of a rod, and yet it can retain the simplicity of a one-dimensional problem in the axial direction. Solutions pertaining to rods of infinite length were also given by Mindlin and Herrmann. This report presents vibration solutions of this rod model with finite lengths. First, the set of two partial...

The three invariant elastoplastic constitutive model has been implemented for use in finite difference blast and shock calculations. The model employs two yield surfaces with an independent plastic potential to control shear induced dilatancy. The model is conceptually similar to Lade's cohesionless soil model. Several improvements in the original ARA model have been incorporated during the course of implementation including tensile strength, expansive strain tracking during tensile failure,...

The T-matrix method, a technique invented by Peter Waterman, (1965, 1969, 1977, 1980) has proven to be valuable for calculating classical scattering from bounded targets. The method is useful for acoustical, electromagnetic and elastic scattering and is based on coupled boundary integral equations and partial wave expansions of relevant physical quantities. Upon truncation of the partial wave expansion, which are in principle in finite, a system of equations is derived that can be expressed in...

The general goals of this project included the development of new, high-order, adaptive methods for the computer simulation of stress-wave propagation phenomena in solid mechanics, particularly elastodynamics. The motivation for using adaptive methodologies is to control and optimize the computational process, to use a posteriori error estimates to optimize meshes and spectral orders of approximation. Such orchestrated meshing can produce exponential rates of convergence, thereby allowing...

The main purpose of this study is to consider an uncoupling method for analyzing explosively loaded structures embedded in hysteretic media. The method, which is based on wave propagation considerations, can be viewed as the plane wave approximation extended to nonlinear problems. Free-field data (both traction and velocity vectors) must be known in order to apply the method. Accuracy of the approximation is shown to be quite good when applied to a series of one-dimensional soil-structure...

Eigenanalysis of temperature and wind profiles can reveal distinct resonances at mesoscale wavelengths. Fourier transform methods are well suited to analyze resonant modes such as mountain waves due, in part, to (1) their fast computation speed for large wave number domains compared to numerical forecast models and (2) their requirements for only a coarse horizontal background state. Common traits of Fourier mountain wave models include use of the Boussinesq approximation and neglect of...

This research is directed at studying the effects on the auditory system of exposure to high levels of reverberant impulse noise using an animal (chinchilla) model. The blast waves were generated by a three inch diameter shock tube (source III), which produced wave signatures having spectral energy concentrated in the 12 kHz region. The waves were discharged into a reverberant chamber within which animals were individually exposed. Animals were exposed to either 150, 155 or 160 dB peak SPL...

Three split-step PE rough surface models-mixed transform (MT), surface loss function (SLF), and approximate solution (AS)-were investigated and compared with a reference waveguide model called MLAYER. The MT and SLF models are shown to agree well with MLAYER; the AS model, however, generally showed poor agreement. The ML model, though the most accurate, is the most time- consuming of the three. The AS model, the most numerically efficient, shows the poorest match to MLAYER. In using one of...

We report on a search for Alfven waves in the solar wind during solar particle events. During the period June 6-8, 1979, we find clear signatures of outgoing Alfven waves which could have been released from the sun simultaneously with the initial release of energetic particles. The waves are soliton-like, with durations of 200-900 seconds. An isolated square Alfven solution is also seen when the first particles (with E approximately 57 MeV) are detected: the width of this solution is...

As result of recent studies, it has become apparent that most available data on free-field particle motion associated with underground chemical and nuclear explosions exhibit nonelastic behavior even at rather large scaled distances from the source. This observation casts suspicion on the usefulness of reduced displacement potential (RDP) calculations based upon these close range data for the purpose of defining a seismic source function (Bache et al, 1981). Experimental measurements on...
