Wave Chaos in Elastodynamic Cavity Scattering
arXiv:nlin/0108053 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2005-10286-8
Abstract
The exact elastodynamic scattering theory is constructed to describe the spectral properties of two- and more-cylindrical cavity systems, and compared to an elastodynamic generalization of the semi-classical Gutzwiller unstable periodic orbits formulas. In contrast to quantum mechanics, complex periodic orbits associated with the surface Rayleigh waves dominate the low-frequency spectrum, and already the two-cavity system displays chaotic features.
