Second-Harmonic Generation at Contacting Interfaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The second-harmonic generation at contacting interfaces between solid bodies is examined in this chapter from theoretical and experimental points of view. A nonlinear spring-type interface model is first laid down as a mathematical model of contacting interfaces. The second-harmonic generation at contacting interfaces is then analyzed using a perturbation approach for plane, time-harmonic waves at normal and oblique incidence. Both time-domain and frequency-domain formulations are presented. Some experimental aspects are discussed regarding the second-harmonic generation at a contacting interface of aluminum alloy blocks subjected to different levels of compressive loading, together with the quantitative comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions.
