In this article, the authors apply the material developed in the Volume One to various boundary value problems (reflection and refraction at plane surfaces, composite media, waveguides and resonators).
Abstract
This work, part of a two-volume set, applies the material developed in the Volume One to various boundary value problems (reflection and refraction at plane surfaces, composite media, waveguides and resonators). The text also covers topics such as perturbation and variational methods.

A guided wave inspection technique for nuclear steam generator tubing

TL;DR: In this article, the utility of guided ultrasonic waves for increasing the efficiency and sensitivity of nuclear steam generator tubing evaluation by non-destructive means is explored and the basic theoretical background of guided waves in tubes is presented, with major emphasis placed on those results with direct relevance to NDE applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementing guided wave mode control by use of a phased transducer array

TL;DR: The experimental results show that signal to noise ratio has been greatly improved by use of the time-delay system and some other benefits of the phased array, including unidirection generation and mode control flexibility, are discussed.

Single crystal PZN/PT-polymer composites for ultrasound transducer applications

TL;DR: Single crystal relaxor ferroelectrics of PZN-8%PT were investigated for potential application in ultrasound transducers and pulse-echo responses displayed good agreement with modeled results using the Redwood equivalent circuit.

Field theory of guided waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for waveguide decomposition in terms of waveguide discontinuities and waveguides and cavities, and apply it to artificial dielectrics.
