The Inhomogeneous Waves in a Rotating Piezoelectric Body by Xiaoguang Yuan, Si Chen

“…This paper presents the analysis and numerical results of rotation, propagation angle, and attenuation angle upon the waves propagating in the piezoelectric body. Via considering the centripetal and Coriolis accelerations in the piezoelectric equations with respect to a rotating frame of reference, wave velocities and attenuations are derived and plotted graphically. …”

Study on Intelligent Compaction-Equipment Logistics Scheduling and Propagation Characteristics of Vibration Wave in Nonlinear Systems with Multistability Based on Field Test by Yixuan Han, Changwei Yang, Degou Cai, Hongye Yan, Hailing Zeng

“…Aiming at the shortages, one typical subgrade located at the Gu’an station of Beijing-Xiong’an city railway is selected to research and finish the field tests; some findings are shown as follows: first, some valuable suggestions about the logistics scheduling of intelligent equipment are proposed, which can break the barriers between the organizations and improve construction efficiency; second, when the vibration wave propagates from the vibratory roller ⟶ surface of filling material ⟶ different buried depths of filling material, the peak acceleration of vibration wave gradually decreases and is hyperbolic distribution approximately. …”

Linear stability of a time-dependent, spherically symmetric background in beyond Horndeski theory and the speed of gravity waves by S. Mironov, M. Sharov, V. Volkova

“…In particular, we demonstrate that the class of beyond Horndeski theories, which satisfy the equality of gravity waves’ speed to the speed of light over a cosmological background, feature gravity waves propagating at luminal speeds above a time-dependent inhomogeneous background as well.…”

Creeping Ray Tracing Algorithm for Arbitrary NURBS Surfaces Based on Adaptive Variable Step Euler Method by Song Fu, Yun-Hua Zhang, Si-Yuan He, Xi Chen, Guo-Qiang Zhu

“…Although the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) could be theoretically applied to arbitrarilyshaped convex objects modeled by nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS), one of the great challenges in calculation of the UTD surface diffracted fields is the difficulty in determining the geodesic paths along which the creeping waves propagate on arbitrarilyshaped NURBS surfaces. In differential geometry, geodesic paths satisfy geodesic differential equation (GDE). …”

Initial Moving Mechanism of Densely-Packed Particles Driven by a Planar Shock Wave by Hua Lv, Zhongqi Wang, Yunming Zhang, Jianping Li

“…We found that before particles show notable motion, shock waves complete reflection and transmission, and stress waves propagate downstream on particle skeleton. Due to the particle stress wave, particles successively accelerate and obtain an axial velocity of 6–8 m/s. …”

Effect of Multipath Laser Shock Processing on Microhardness, Surface Roughness, and Wear Resistance of 2024-T3 Al Alloy by Abdulhadi Kadhim, Evan T. Salim, Saeed M. Fayadh, Ahmed A. Al-Amiery, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum, Abu Bakar Mohamad

“…LSP is based on the application of a high intensity pulsed laser beam (I>1 GW/cm2;  t<50 ns) at the interface between the metallic target and the surrounding medium (a transparent confining material, normally water) forcing a sudden vaporization of the metallic surface into a high temperature and density plasma that immediately develops inducing a shock wave propagating into the material. The shock wave induces plastic deformation and a residual stress distribution in the target material. …”
