The Impact of Initial Flow Velocity and Fluid Flow Direction on the Dispersion of Quasi-Scholte Waves Propagating in an Orthotropic Plate in Contact with the Fluid

Abstract

This work investigates how the initial flow velocity and the direction of the fluid flow influence the dispersion of quasi-Scholte waves traveling through an orthotropic plate in contact with the fluid. The plate's motion is modeled using the exact elastodynamic equations for anisotropic materials, while the fluid's behavior is described by the linearized Euler equations.
