Summary on Grant Application Form
Within this proposal we are planning to develop a general methodology to analyze the high-frequency long-wave behaviour of waveguides with arbitrary cross-section. In particular, we formulate a hybrid procedure starting from a long-wave perturbation of the numerical solution of the eigenvalue problems on cross-section for the equations in plane and antiplane elasticity. Two types of cross-sections are studied analytically, including an elliptic and rectangular one. The derived low-dimensional equations will be applied to the analysis of trapped modes in waveguides with shape imperfections. The project is inspired by the theory and practice of non-destructive evaluation and also has potential applications in the optimal design of advanced structures. It generalizes previous considerations of the co-authors and the visiting fellow in the area of longwavelength asymptotics and elastic trapped modes.
