We study the problem of diffraction by a right-angled no-contrast penetrable wedge by means of a two-complex-variable Wiener–Hopf approach. Specifically, the analyticity properties of the unknown (spectral) functions of the two-complex-variable Wiener–Hopf equation are studied. We show that these spectral functions can be ...
A boundary-value problem was formulated for perturbation of an electrostatic field by a coated dielectric sphere made of two distinct linear anisotropic dielectric (LAD) materials. Specific affine transformations were employed to represent the electric potential inside the core and the coating in terms of the solutions of ...
Modal instabilities in a compressible flow through a channel at high Reynolds numbers are studied for three-dimensional (3D) perturbations. In addition to the Tollmien–Schlichting (TS) mode, there exist compressible modes in a channel flow that do not have a counterpart in the incompressible limit. The stability ...
We apply the stationary phase method developed in Assier, Shanin and Korolkov, QJMAM , 76 (2022) to the problem of wave diffraction by a quarter-plane subjected to Dirichlet boundary conditions. The wave field is written as a double Fourier transform of an unknown spectral function. We make use of the analytical ...
The Wiener–Hopf Technique is popular throughout applied mathematics, particularly for wave scattering problems. One such problem is the scattering of an incident wave impinging upon a semi-infinite surface. For scattering problems in which one applies separate boundary conditions on each side of the diffraction medium, we ...
A steady state plane problem of an inhomogeneous half-plane subjected to a load running along the boundary at subsonic speed is analyzed. The Lame coefficients and the density of the half-plane are assumed to be power functions of depth. The model is different from the standard static model have been used in contact ...
We study the elastic field in a three-phase composite composed of an internal spherical homogeneous elastic inhomogeneity, an intermediate functionally graded interphase layer and an outer unbounded homogeneous elastic matrix subjected to an arbitrary uniform remote loading. The shear modulus of the interphase layer obeys ...

We study the design of an imperfectly bonded neutral isotropic elastic ellipsoidal inhomogeneity that does not disturb the prescribed uniform normal stresses in an isotropic elastic matrix. The imperfect inhomogeneity-matrix interface is modeled by a spring-type imperfect interface characterized by a single imperfect ...

The evolution of solitary waves governed by perturbations of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is considered, focussing in particular on the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries (BKdV) equation. Using matched asymptotic expansions the structure of the wave is determined for all timescales. A tail appears behind the main waveform, ...

This work concerns the structural vibration of a bladeless wind turbine, modelled by a two-deck Euler–Bernoulli beam, due to a surrounding potential flow. The deflection is governed by the Euler–Bernoulli equation which is studied first by a linear theory and then computed numerically by a finite difference method in space ...

In this article, we show that by subjecting the pivot of a simple inextensible pendulum to small amplitude high frequency rectilinear oscillations it is possible to make it operate in a weightless environment. The axis of vibration of the pivot defines a preferred direction in space and a consequential dynamical structure ...
