Propagation of flexural waves at the interface between floating plates

چکیده
We present a theoretical study of wave propagation in two adjoining floating plates of different flexural rigidity, such as fast-ice sheets that abut across a pressure ridge, etc. Analytical formulas for the transmission and reflection coefficients for various conditions at the interface are obtained using the Wiener-Hopf technique for the case of semiinfinite elastic plates joined by a straight line. Solutions are scaled using the well-known characteristic length and time for an infinite floating plate, then categorized according to non-dimensional wave frequency that is independent of physical parameters. Thus the results give a relationship between scale-model experiments and real-sized structures.
