Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present new approaches to the problem of wave frequency estimation for harmonic waves in layered elastic composites. Upper and lower bounds are obtained by adapting standard results for eigenvalue problems with smooth coefficients. The one-dimensional eigenvalue problem with discontinuous coefficients of concern here is first transformed by using an analog of the classical Liouville transformation. Upper bounds are obtained by application of a Rayleigh-Ritz technique to the transformed problem. Explicit lower bounds in terms of the coefficients are established. Results are illustrated by numerical examples.
