Floquet-Bloch Theory and Its Application to the Dispersion Curves of Nonperiodic Layered Systems
Dispersion curves play a relevant role in nondestructive testing. They provide estimations of the elastic and geometrical parameters from experiments and offer a better perspective to explain the wave field behavior inside bodies. They are obtained by different methods. The Floquet-Bloch theory is p...
