    Abstract : Gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves are important as carriers of energy and information. This thesis is devoted to the study of the propagation and interaction of these waves in plasmas, with emphasis on nonlinear effects and applications within astrophysics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wave Propagation in Structural Elements - Direct and Inverse Problems in the Time Domain

    Author : Peter Folkow; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; integro-differential equations; non-uniform beams; wave splitting; wave propagator; finite difference; Timoshenko beam; imbedding; Mindlin plate; inverse problem; viscoelastic damping; nonlinear rod; transient wave propagation; Green function;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is direct and inverse wave propagation problems in structural elements. The considered structures are beams, plates and rods. The models for the beams and the plates are based on linear theory, while the rods are assumed to be nonlinear. The greater part of the work concerns the Timoshenko beam. READ MORE
