An approximate K-pulse waveform is synthesized for a perfectly conducting sphere using a theoretically-generated back-scattered impulse response of the target. The complex natural resonance (CNR) frequencies of the sphere are extracted as zeros of the K-pulse spectrum. The synthesized K-pulse is an aspect and polarization independent descriptor of the sphere, and use of this property in radar target identification is demonstrated for several examples. This study is pertinent because of the need to understand the problems encountered in target identification of low-Q radar targets. The next generation of targets will most assuredly appear to be low-Q structures.

Transient response of an infinite elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsion Zakout, U; Akkas, Z; Tupholme, GE (2000-06-01) An exact closed-form solution is obtained for the transient response of an infinite isotropic elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsional surface loading using the residual variable method. The main advantage of the present approach is that it eliminates the computational problems arising in the existing methods which are primarily based on Fourier or Laplace transformation techniques. Extensive numerical results for the circumferential displacements and shear stresses at various loc...
THE HARMONIC RESPONSE OF UNIFORM BEAMS ON MULTIPLE LINEAR SUPPORTS - A FLEXURAL WAVE ANALYSIS MEAD, DJ; Yaman, Yavuz (Elsevier BV, 1990-09-22) A wave approach is developed for the exact analysis of the harmonic response of uniform finite beams on multiple supports. The beam may be excited by single or multi-point harmonic forces or moments; its supports may have general linear characteristics which may include displacement-rotation coupling. Use is made of the harmonic response function for an infinite beam subjected to a single-point harmonic force or moment. The unknowns of the finite beam problem are the support reaction forces/moments and the ...
Semi-analytical study of free vibration characteristics of shear deformable filament wound anisotropic shells of revolution Kayran, Altan (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-09) Free vibration characteristics of filament wound anisotropic shells of revolution are investigated by using multisegment numerical integration technique in combination with a modified frequency trial method. The applicability of multisegment numerical integration technique is extended to the solution of free vibration problem of anisotropic composite shells of revolution through the use of finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell equations. The governing shell equations comprise the ful...
The advantages of focusing in parametric sources Ozyar, MS (1999-09-04) The generation of a low frequency wave in fluids is possible as a consequence of parametric radiation provided that the two primary frequencies are set close to each other. In this theoretical study, the radiation patterns of primary waves versus the radiation axis were plotted. Similarly, the results for the case of focusing were presented. In each case, distributions of the difference-frequency (low-frequency) waves were investigated. Simple analytic formulations of Novikov et al. [1] for the case of a Ga...
TRANSIENT WAVE-PROPAGATION IN LAYERED MEDIA CONDUCTING HEAT TURHAN, D; CELEP, Z; ZAINEDDEN, IK (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-22) Transient wave propagation in thermoelastic layered composites consisting of alternating isotropic, homogeneous and linearly elastic high-strength reinforcing and low-strength matrix layers is investigated. The layers of the composite medium can be plane, cylindrical or spherical. The inner surfaces of the composite bodies are subjected to uniform time dependent dynamic inputs. A common formulation is employed for the three types of layered media. The generalized theory of thermoelasticity is used, with the...
