    Direct and inverse elastic scattering from anisotropic media
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Bao, Gang; Hu, Guanghui; Yin, Tao; Sun, Jiguang
    Assume a time-harmonic elastic wave is incident onto a penetrable anisotropic body embedded into a homogeneous isotropic background medium. We propose an equivalent variational formulation in a truncated bounded domain and show uniqueness and existence of weak solutions by applying the Fredholm alternative and using properties of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map in both two and three dimensions. The Fréchet derivative of the near-field solution operator with respect to the scattering interface is derived. As an application, we design a descent algorithm for recovering the interface from the near-field data of one or several incident directions and frequencies. Numerical examples in 2D are demonstrated to show the validity and accuracy of our methods.

    Finite element method to fluid-solid interaction problems with unbounded periodic interfaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Hu, Guanghui; Rathsfeld, Andreas; Yin, Tao
    Consider a time-harmonic acoustic plane wave incident onto a doubly periodic (biperiodic) surface from above. The medium above the surface is supposed to be filled with a homogeneous compressible inviscid fluid of constant mass density, whereas the region below is occupied by an isotropic and linearly elastic solid body characterized by its Lamé constants. This paper is concerned with a variational approach to the fluid-solid interaction problems with unbounded biperiodic Lipschitz interfaces between the domains of the acoustic and elastic waves. The existence of quasi-periodic solutions in Sobolev spaces is established at arbitrary frequency of incidence, while uniqueness is proved only for small frequencies or for all frequencies excluding a discrete set. A finite element scheme coupled with Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings is proposed. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings are approximated by truncated Rayleigh series expansions, and, finally, numerical tests in 2D are performed.

    Scattering of time harmonic electromagnetic plane waves by perfectly conducting diffraction gratings
    (Berlin: Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Hu, Guanghui; Rathsfeld, Andreas
    Consider scattering of time-harmonic lectromagnetic plane waves by a doubly periodic surface in R^3. The medium above the surface is supposed to be homogeneous and isotropic with a constant dielectric coefficient, while below is a perfectly conducting material. This paper is concerned with the existence of quasiperiodic solutions for any frequency of incidence. Based on an equivalent variational formulation established by the mortar technique of Nitsche, we verify the existence of solutions for a broad class of incident waves including plane waves, under the assumption that the grating profile is a Lipschitz biperiodic surface. Our solvability result covers the resonance case where a Rayleigh frequency is allowed. Non-uniqueness examples are also presented in the resonance case and the TE or TM polarization case for classical gratings.
