Extension to three dimensions

Since ky is conserved the Rayleigh reflected field can be separated into the product of a term in x and a simple exponential term in y, i.e. pn(x, y) = pR(x) exp(ikyy). Rewriting (12.15) in this form gives 

The integration over y can be evaluated by the method of stationary points. The stationary point is the solution of d0/d/ = 0, and is found to be 

The value of the integral is Jn (although that later cancels out) so 

This is the generalized three-dimensional scattering relationship for the response just above the surface at x to an oscillatory pressure just above the surface at x, due to Rayleigh wave excitation, in the case where the y component of the wavevector is constant. The three-dimensional scattering function can now be calculated. 

In (12.13) the Ro term enters separately from the terms derived from Pr(x), and it is unaffected by the phase factor exp[ikyy], Thus the generalization of (12.13) is found by replacing kp by s/(k2 - k2) and multiplying all terms except Rq by kp/ /(k2 — k2). The result is

The pedestrian approach to polydispersity that has been demonstrated up to here is an extension to three dimensions of the well-known rigorous treatment of polydispersity in one dimension by means of the Mellin convolution (Eq. (8.85), p. 168). 

The extension to three dimensions requires a knowledge of the geometric arrangement of the atoms. For a square prism arrangement of 16 atoms (ref. 148)... 

This analysis was for a one-dimensional solid. The extension to three dimensions is not so easy for real structures, but can be done for a simplified model of a metal. Imagine the case of a simple cubic lattice such as is shown in Figure 5.3. 

The basis of any of these methods is illustrated in Fig. 5, the (x, y) plane being covered with a two-dimensional finite difference net with increments Ax and Ay in the variables x andy. The electrode is assumed to be of sufficient width so that it can be considered to be uniform in the z-direction. The extension to three-dimensions, if required, would however present no conceptual or computational problems to what follows. 

The proof of the orthogonal property for a one-dimensional problem is given below. The extension to three dimensions involves no... 

The expressions for transient concentration derived in the preceding section needs integration prior to use. More easily usable expressions can be developed by making suitable approximations. Realizing that for PDE, a set of functions instead of constants, as in the case of ODE, needs to be solved from the boundary condition Equation (9.96) is allowed to vary with time. This results in an expression for transient concentration that is more readily available for direct use of the practitioner. Extension to three dimensions in space is also straightforward with this method. 

As early as 1973 Chorin (1973, 1989, 1994) introduced the two-dimensional random vortex method, a particle method for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. These particles can be thought of as carriers of vorticity. Weak solutions to the conservation equations are obtained as superpositions of point vertices, the evolution of which is described by deterministic ODEs. A random walk technique is used to approximate diffusion, and vorticity creation at boundaries to represent the no-slip boundary condition. The extension to three dimensions followed in 1982 (Beale and Majda 1982). An important improvement in stability and smoothness was achieved by Anderson and Greengard (1985) by removing the singularities associated with point vertices. Anderson and Greengard (1988) and Marchioro and Pulvirenti (1984) have written comprehensive reviews of the method. 

The present paper may be considered an extension of other efforts of the writer [6-9, 12] to state the bridge flutter-buffeting problem analytically with linearly defined deterministic parameters. In particular, the work outlined below constitutes the extension to three dimensions of the theory given in Ref.[9], as was promised in that paper. The final result offers what may be a useful theoretical format for examining the roles of both structural and aerodynamic parameters in specific practical cases. 

To this point the relations between stress and strain (constitutive equations) for viscoelastic materials have been limited to one-dimension. To appreciate the procedure for the extension to three-dimensions recall the generalized Hooke s law for homogeneous and isotropic materials given by Eqs. 2.28,... 

This theoretical model has been refined recently [45] by its extension to three dimensions, considering the cavity of the cyclodextrin to be a non-polar cylinder (e=2) in a larger aqueous medium (e=80). This gives a more accurate reflection of the effects of boundary conditions between the two volumes of differing polarity on the changes in chemical shifts. 

Although we have confined oireselves to Pick s law in one dimension, its extension to three dimensions is straightforward. We merely have to extend Equation 2.18a to three dimensions in the increments Ax, Ay, Az, which now represent the sides of a cube. The result is... 

The extension to three dimensions becomes more complicated, with normal stresses in the orthogonal directions and Zxy, Xy and x representing the shear stresses in the planes identified in the. suffix (there are actually six shear stresses, but only three are necessary due to symmetry considerations). Therefore, the description requires a six-element tensor to describe the stresses felt by a 3D object. 

Information about the polyhedra are returned as optional output arguments in voronoi and voronoin, its extension to three dimensions, four dimensions, etc. (for tessellation, the extension is delaunayn).
