Annotation:

The simulation of propagating waves is of primary importance in many engineering applications, such as planning ultrasonic measurement procedures, monitoring of the structural integrity of pipelines by analyzing pressure pulses propagation, earthquake waves propagation and many other types of real-life applications. Traditionally, the computational methods of wave propagation analysis in geometrically complex structures and environments use the finite element or the finite difference approaches. However, inherent shortcomings arise due to huge dimensionalities of the models in cases when the length of the analyzed waves is much lesser than the linear dimensions of the structure. When the structure, that supports the wave, is consistent along at least one direction, more effective methods can be applied, namely semi analytical finite element method. The dissertation covers algorithms, that are based on semi analytical finite element method, to model the waves in waveguide in dissipative environment.
