General Analytic Solution of the Wave Equation for Anisotropic Materials Using Symbolic Manipulation

  • Chapter
Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation

Abstract

Almost all solutions for elastic waves in anisotropic materials have been obtained by approximation methods [1], numerical techniques [2], or in special symmetry [3, 4] directions where factored solutions can be obtained. Even for special symmetry directions, the analysis becomes quite laborious for lower symmetry classes.
