Sommario

Nel presente lavoro si sviluppa un procedimento generale per individuare il modo nel quale i segnali meccanici si propagano attraverso barre viscoelastiche di Kelvin-Voigt, sottili e semiinfinite. Utilizzando la trasformata di Laplace ed il metodo asintotico di fase stazionaria, si risolve quindi il problema al contorno in questione.

Summary

The aim of this paper is to develop a general procedure for predicting the way in which mechanical signals propagate through a semi-infinite, thin, Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic rod. By use of the Laplace transform and the asymptotic method of stationary phase, the boundary-value problem in question is solved.
