“…where = le 0 (e 0 is the material constant, l is the atomic spacing) and ∇ = [ ∂ ∂x 1 , ∂ ∂x 2 , ∂ ∂x 3 ] T is the gradient operator; the researchers have carried out a large number of investigations of harmonic plane waves propagating in various nonlocal elastic media, including nonlocal purely elastic media [2,3], nonlocal thermoelastic media [4][5][6], nonlocal piezoelastic media [7][8][9], nonlocal micropolar elastic media [10][11][12][13][14][15], nonlocal porous elastic media [16][17][18], and nonlocal elastic solids with voids [19][20][21][22][23]. These works investigated the propagation of harmonic plane waves in infinite nonlocal continuum solids [2,4,6,7,10,14,16,17,19,21], the reflection of harmonic plane waves from free boundaries of nonlocal elastic half-spaces [3,4,6,10,13,15,16,19], the reflection and transmission of harmonic plane waves through plane interfaces of two nonlocal elastic half-spaces [8,9,12], the propagation characteristics of Rayleigh waves…”
