Scattering of a Sagittal Surface Acoustic Wave from a Large Amplitude Ridge or a Deep Groove (original) (raw)
SOlllC relevant f;t(~ts: (i) The use of proper Green's functions inherently reduces the dilllensiolla.lity of the problem by one; ollly the houndary of the silllulation domain has to be (liscretilled. This is opposed to the finite elellwllt lIld\JOd (FEM) and finite diiTcrcnce nwthod (FOM) which require the di:;cretization of the C'ntire domain. This property dramatically reduces the size of the resulting matrices. (ii) However, this important and cOIllputer-resources-saving advantage of REM is accompallied with it

A volume-perturbation approach to the problem of Rayleigh wave scattering at a rectangular groove
The problem of scattering of Rayleigh waves at a rectangular groove is addressed. Grooves are known to excite bulk waves upon scattering and, hence, are potential sources (albeit secondary) in bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) devices. Herein the groove is formulated as a volume perturbation of the geometry. Modal method is used and the results of Rayleigh wave reflection as well as bulk wave radiation are obtained and compared with the results available in the literature. The method as such is also compared with the boundary perturbation formulation.
Boundary perturbation methods for high-frequency acoustic scattering: Shallow periodic gratings
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
Despite significant recent advances in numerical methodologies for simulating rough-surface acoustic scattering, their applicability has been constrained by the limitations of state-of-the-art computational resources. This has been particularly true in high-frequency applications where the sheer size of the full-wave simulations render them impractical, and engineering processes must therefore rely on asymptotic models ͓e.g., Kirchhoff approximation ͑KA͔͒. However, the demands for high precision can make the latter inappropriate, thus efficient, error-controllable methodologies must be devised. This paper presents a computational strategy that combines the virtues of rigorous solvers ͑error control͒ with those of high-frequency asymptotic models ͑frequency-independent computational costs͒. These methods are based on high-order "boundary perturbations," which display high precision and unparalleled efficiency. This is accomplished by incorporating asymptotic phase information to effect a significant decrease in computational effort, simultaneously retaining the full-wave nature of the approach. The developments of this contribution are constrained to configurations that preclude multiple scattering; it is further explained how the schemes can be made applicable to general scattering scenarios, though implementation details are left for future work. Even for single-scattering configurations, the approach presented here gives significant gains in accuracy when compared to asymptotic theories ͑e.g., KA͒ with modest additional computational cost.
Numerical aspects of single wave basis boundary elements for acoustic scattering
The use of a plane wave basis to express the complex potential field in acoustic scattering has been considered theoretically by de la Bourdonnaye (1), who termed the method Microlo- cal Discretisation, and has been extended and applied further by Perrey-Debain et al. (2) with great success in reducing errors and extending the supported frequency range for any given com- putational resource. The basis has also proved effective for scattering of elastodynamic waves (3). Initial results are also available from a three-dimensional implementation of the method for Helmholtz problems (4). Further marked reductions in computational complexity can be achieved for a limited class of problems (convex scatterers impinged by a single plane incident wave) by restricting the basis to a single plane wave travelling in the same direction as the incident wave. This astonishing result, predicted earlier by Abboud et al. (5) has been tested in the current work. The tests have highlighted a number of ...
