چکیده
The scattered field arising from diffraction of a plane flexural wave by a semi-infinite crack in an orthotropic Kirchhoff thin plate is analysed. The crack is aligned with a principal direction of the material, so that two of the plate’s three planes of symmetry are preserved. An asymptotic approximation is derived via the method of steepest descents, and explicit expressions are given for the most significant contributions. The effects of anisotropy upon the scattered field are made clear, and numerical results are presented for several typical engineering materials.

Diffraction of flexural waves by cracks in orthotropic thin elastic plates. I Formal solution
The problem of flexural wave diffraction by a semi-infinite crack in an infinite orthotropic thin plate is considered. Such models have application to the ultrasonic non-destructive inspection of thin components, such as aeroplane wings. For simplicity, the plate is modelled using Kirchhoff theory, and the crack is chosen to be aligned along one of the principal directions of material orthotrop...
متن کاملFinite elements modelling of scattering problems for flexural waves in thin plates: Application to elliptic invisibility cloaks, rotators and the mirage effect
We propose a finite elements algorithm to solve a fourth order partial differential equation governing the propagation of time-harmonic bending waves in thin elastic plates. Specially designed perfectly matched layers are implemented to deal with the infinite extent of the plates. These are deduced from a geometric transform in the biharmonic equation. To numerically illustrate the power of ela...

This study presents exact bending solution of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary loads resting on elastic foundations, based on the finite integral transform method. In this method, it is not necessary to determine the deformation function because the basic governing equations of the classical plate theory for orthotropic plates have been used. A detailed param...

متن کاملMoving Three Collinear Griffith Cracks at Orthotropic Interface
This work deals with the interaction of P-waves between a moving central crack and a pair of outer cracks situated at the interface of an orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. Initially, we considered a two-dimensional elastic wave equation in orthotropic medium. The Fourier transform has been applied to convert the basic problem to solve the set of four integral equations. These set of ...
