Optimal orientation angles and aspect ratios of a grain are presented for the attenuation of a longitudinal pressure wave by elastic stresses that arise from the rotation of a grain. A computer program in C++ allows the grain to be a two-dimensional ellipse of several orientations with respect to the incoming load. The program also varies the aspect ratio of the grain. The induced elastic stresses...
