Ac. Hladkyhennion et R. Bossut, STUDY ON ACOUSTIC-WAVE PROPAGATION IN DIH EDRA USING THE FINITE-ELEMENT METHOD, Journal de physique. IV, 4(C5), 1994, pp. 689-692
A bidimensional mathematical model has been developed to study the pro
pagation of acoustic waves in waveguides. This paper presents the theo
retical formulation and its application to a rectilinear elastic wedge
, which top angle is variable. Comparison between finite element resul
ts and empirical or experimental results demonstrates the accuracy of
the model. Then, the method is extended to curved waveguides.
