✦ Synopsis

Several gradient-index (GRIN) tapers have been analyzed in the literature, whether with a transverse parabolic index distribution or with a hyperbolic secant index pro®le. In this work, a new class of GRIN tapers, formed by grouping together several sections of transverse parabolic index devices is analyzed, focusing the attention on some of its limitations and advantages over ordinary tapers. Numerical simulations based upon geometric optics are conducted to analyze the behavior of these tapers.

A simple but accurate analytical acoustic transmission analysis (ATA) is developed for evaluating the acoustic absorption of the multi-layer acoustic absorber. Unlike other analytical approaches available in literature, the present ATA can deal with the multi-layer acoustic absorber containing sever

A set of model equations for water wave propagation is derived by piecewise integration of the primitive equations of motion through N arbitrary layers. Within each layer, an independent velocity profile is determined. Depth-averaged and ''extended'' versions of the multi-layer model are presented a
