Characterization of Acoustic Waves in Multi-Layered Structures - Oleg Pykhteev
The work is devoted to the modeling of acoustic waves in multi-layered structures surrounded by a fluid and consisting of different kinds of materials including piezoelectric materials and composite multilayers. It consists of three parts. The first part describes the modeling of an acoustic sensor by the finite element method. The existence and uniqueness of a time-harmonic solution are rigorously established under physically appropriate assumptions. The convergence of Ritz-Galerkin solutions to..
