A study is made of the radial propagation of axial shear waves in an incompressible elastic solid under finite radial deformation. Basic equations are derived on the basis of Biot’s mechanics of incremental deformations, and analysis is made by the method of characteristics. Numerical examples are given by specializing the initial deformation to two cases: (a) an infinite solid with a cylindrical bore is inflated by all-around tension, and (b) a cuboid is rounded into a ring and its ends are bonded to each other. The influence of the inhomogeneities of such deformations upon the laws of shear wave propagation is presented in the form of curves.

The present paper deals with the propagation of unattenuated axisymmetric waves of small amplitude guided by a cylindrical bore through a neo-Hookean solid of infinite extent, which is finitely deformed by an all-around tension at infinity. The basic equations for the axisymmetric case are derived on the basis of Biot’s mechanics of incremental deformations, and applied to the problem by using Galerkin’s method. The influence of nonhomogeneous initial stresses upon the phase velocity of shear waves is presented in the form of curves.

AbstractIt has been shown that uncoupled surface waves of SH type can be propagated without any dispersion in an electrically conducting semi-infinite elastic medium provided a uniform magnetic field acts non-aligned to the direction of wave propagation. In general, the velocity of propagation will be slightly greater than that of plane shear waves in the medium.

Three cases for 1-D wave propagation in ideal elastic rock, through single rock joint and multiple parallel rock joints are used to verify 1-D wave propagation in rocks. For the case for 1-D wave propagation through single rock joint, the magnitude of transmission coefficient obtained from UDEC results is compared with that obtained from the analytical solution. For 1-D wave propagation through multiple parallel joints, the magnitude of transmission coefficient obtained from UDEC results is compared with that obtained from the method of characteristics. For all these cases, UDEC results agree well with results from the analytical solutions and the method of characteristics. From these verification studies, it can be concluded that UDEC is capable of modeling 1-D dynamic problems in rocks.

This paper follows previous work (Shtivelman, 1984) in which a hybrid method for wave‐field computation was developed. The method combines analytical and numerical techniques and is based upon separation of the processes of wave scattering and wave propagation. The method is further developed and improved; particularly, it is generalized for the case of an inhomogeneous medium above scattering objects (provided the inhomogeneity is weak, i.e., the effects of scattering can be neglected) and is represented by a simpler and more convenient form. Several numerical examples illustrating application of the method to the problems of two‐dimensional acoustic modeling are considered.
