Scattering of Incident P-Waves by a Semicylindrical Core-Shell Structure in an Elastically Constrained Half-Space at Nanoscale

Abstract

Under the premise of the theory of surface elasticity, the scattering of plane compressional waves (P-waves) in the surface of a semicylindrical core-shell structure within the nanoscale elastic confinement half-space is studied by using the method of eigen-function expansion. The generalized Y-L equation is used to give the nanoscale boundary conditions, and the dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) along the interface of core-shell structure induced by the plane elastic wave are derived and numerically evaluated. Under different incident wave frequencies, surface energy, and shear modulus, when the radius of the core-shell structure is reduced to the nanometer level, their influence on the DSCF is very significant. These have been confirmed by numerical calculations.
