Dynamic analysis of anisotropic half space containing an elliptical inclusion under SH waves

Abstract

Based on the methods of complex function, conformal mapping, and multipolar coordinate system, dynamic response of an elliptical inclusion embedded in an anisotropic half space is investigated. In order to find the solution of SH waves, the governing equation is transferred into its normalized form. Then, the scattering wave induced by the inclusion and the standing wave in the inclusion is deduced. Different incident wave angles and the corresponding anisotropy of the half space are considered to obtain the reflected waves. The elliptical inclusion is transferred into a unit circle by conformal mapping method, and then the undetermined coefficients in scattering wave and standing wave are solved by using the continuous condition at the boundary of the inclusion. Subsequently, the dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) around the inclusion is calculated and analyzed. Numerical results demonstrate that the distribution of the DSCF is mainly influenced by the incident wave angle and the incident wave number. It is affected by anisotropic parameters as well.

Dynamic response of an elliptic cylinder inclusion with imperfect interfaces subjected to plane SH wave

“…The displacement and stress fields were determined by the Green's function method and conformal mapping and the influence factors for the spatial distribution of DSCF were analyzed. Jiang et al (2020) employed the complex function method to obtain the DSCF around an elliptical inclusion in the anisotropic half-space. The numerical results indicated that the wave number, incidence angle, and anisotropic parameters significantly influenced the spatial distribution of DSCF.…”

Dynamic analysis of the different types of elliptic cylindrical inclusions subjected to plane SH‐wave scattering

“…Due to the discontinuity of structure, inclusions often exist in different objects, such as underground structure in the stratum, impurities in materials, and so on. Scattering and dynamic stress concentration will occur around inclusions when subjected to stress wave, 1,2 which may cause the structural failure of inclusions. Thus, dynamic response of a medium with inclusions embedded in elastic waves should be considered seriously.…”

Dynamic analysis of non‐confocal elliptical lined tunnel under the action of SH wave

“…Compared with circular tunnels, elliptical tunnels are more challenging to study as the study involves elliptical boundary and multi‐elliptical coordinate system transformation problems. While the utilization of complex functions and the sophisticated application of multipolar coordinate techniques have made it convenient to deal with the scattering problems of cylindrical structures, 14 but it is still difficult to deal with the scattering problem of elliptical cylinders using these methods 15 . Mathieu functions are currently an effective method for solving elliptic boundary value problems 16–18 .…”
