Influence of Geometry and Boundary Conditions in Area of Cohesion between Materials on the Reflection of an Ultrasonic Beam. Part 1. Theoretical research by A. R. Bayev, A. L. Mayorov, N. V. Levkovich, D. V. Shavlovskiy, M. V. Asadchaya

“…There is shown that there are conditions to achieve sufficiently high sensitivity detection of interface defects when the scattered waves receiving are to be at angles outside the main directivity lobe of the scattering field pattern. The evolution features of the scattering field structure which are needed for the development of the method of evaluation the cohesion of materials has been got.…”

Stability of Fluid Flow through a Channel with Flexible Walls by Marianna A. Shubov, Madeline M. Edwards

“…The main findings of the paper are the following: (i) rigorous formulation of the initial boundary problem for the stream function, ψx,y,t, induced by the fluid-structure interaction model, which takes into account the axisymmetric pattern of the flow and “no-slip” condition near the channel walls; (ii) application of a double integral transformation (the Fourier transformation and Laplace transformation) to both the equation and boundary and initial conditions, which reduces the original partial differential equation to a parameter-dependent ordinary differential equation; (iii) derivation of the explicit formula for the Fourier transform of the stream function, ψ˜k,y,t; (iv) evaluation of the inverse Fourier transform of ψ˜k,y,t and proving that reconstruction of ψx,y,t can be obtained through a limiting process in the complex k-plane, which allows us to use the Residue theorem and represent the solution in the form of an infinite series of residues. …”
