AbstractThis paper describes an investigation of the acoustic properties of a rigid plate with a periodic pattern of holes, in a compressible, ideal, inviscid fluid in the absence of mean flow. Leppington & Levine (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 61, 1973, pp. 109–127) obtained an approximation of the reflection and transmission coefficients of a plane wave incident on an infinitely thin plate with a rectangular array of perforations, assuming that a characteristic size of the perforations is negligible relative to that of the unit cell of the grating, itself assumed to be negligible relative to the wavelength. One part of the present study is of methodological interest. It establishes that it is possible to extend their approach to thick plates with a skew grating of perforations, thus confirming recent results of Bendali et al. (SIAM J. Appl. Math., vol. 73 (1), 2013, pp. 438–459), but in a much simpler way without using complex matched asymptotic expansions of the full wave or to a grating of multipoles. As is well-known, effective compliances for the plate can then be derived from the corresponding approximations of the reflection and transmission coefficients. These compliances are expressed in terms of the Rayleigh conductivity of an isolated perforation. Consequently, in one other part of the present study, the methodology recently introduced by Laurens et al. (ESAIM, Math. Model. Numer. Anal., vol. 47 (6), 2013, pp. 1691–1712) to obtain sharp bounds for the Rayleigh conductivity has been extended to include the case for which the openings of the perforations on the upper and lower sides of the plate are elliptical in shape. This not only enables the determination of these bounds and of the associated reflection and transmission coefficients for actual plates with tilted perforations but also yields single expressions covering all usual cases of perforations: straight or tilted with a circular or an elliptical cross-section.

Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general Christoffel equation is derived from the coupled constitutive and balance equations, which is further employed to solve the elastic displacements and electric and magnetic potentials. Based on these solutions, the reflection and transmission coefficients in the corresponding layered structures are subsequently obtained by virtue of the propagator matrix method. Two layered examples are selected to verify and illustrate our solutions. One is the purely elastic layered system composed of aluminum and organic glass materials. The other layered system is composed of the novel magnetoelectroelastic material and the organic glass. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with different incident angles, frequencies, and boundary conditions, which could be useful to nondestructive evaluation of this novel material structure based on wave propagations.

A modified Nicholson – Ross – Weir method was used to determine complex parameters and dielectric permittivity of ceramic materials in the range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The measuring equipment is a meter of complex reflection and transmission coefficients, a waveguide measuring canal with a special measuring cell, consisting of two irregular waveguides and a waveguide chamber between them, which provides insignificant influence of higher-order modes. The dependences of the amplitude and phase of the reflection and transmission coefficients on frequency were obtained experimentally for fluoroplastic and three ceramic samples in the frequency range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The obtained S-parameters are processed according to an algorithm that includes their averaging based on the Fourier transform in order to obtain the values of the dielectric permittivity. Fluoroplastic was used as a reference material with a known dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of fluoroplastic has a stable value of 2.1 in the above mentioned frequency range. The dielectric constant of sample No. 1 varies from 3.6 to 2.5 at the boundaries of the range, sample No. 2 – from 3.7 to 2.1, sample No. 3 – from 2.9 to 1.5. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the literature data for other frequencies taking into account the limits set by the measurement uncertainty.

In this paper, we carry out the homogenization of a very rough three-dimensional interface separating  two dissimilar generally anisotropic poroelastic solids modeled by the Biot theory. The very rough interface is assumed to be a cylindrical surface that rapidly oscillates between two parallel planes, and the motion is time-harmonic. Using the homogenization method with the matrix formulation of the poroelasicity theory, the explicit  homogenized equations have been derived. Since the obtained  homogenized equations are totally explicit, they are very convenient for solving various practical problems. As an example proving this, the reflection and transmission of SH waves at a very rough interface of tooth-comb type is considered. The closed-form analytical expressions of the reflection and transmission coefficients have been  derived. Based on them, the effect of the incident angle and some material parameters  on the reflection and transmission coefficients are examined numerically.

Evaluating the performance of finite-difference algorithms typically uses a technique known as von Neumann analysis. For a given algorithm, application of the technique yields both a dispersion relation valid for the discrete time-space grid and a mathematical condition for stability. In practice, a major shortcoming of conventional von Neumann analysis is that it can be applied only to an idealized numerical model — that of an infinite, homogeneous whole space. Experience has shown that numerical instabilities often arise in finite-difference simulations of wave propagation at interfaces with strong material contrasts. These interface instabilities occur even though the conventional von Neumann stability criterion may be satisfied at each point of the numerical model. To address this issue, I generalize von Neumann analysis for a model of two half-spaces. I perform the analysis for the case of acoustic wave propagation using a standard staggered-grid finite-difference numerical scheme. By deriving expressions for the discrete reflection and transmission coefficients, I study under what conditions the discrete reflection and transmission coefficients become unbounded. I find that instabilities encountered in numerical modeling near interfaces with strong material contrasts are linked to these cases and develop a modified stability criterion that takes into account the resulting instabilities. I test and verify the stability criterion by executing a finite-difference algorithm under conditions predicted to be stable and unstable.
