Diffractions of horizontally polarized shear waves by a parabolic cylinder are studied by using the expansion of solutions to the wave equation in terms of Weber’s functions. The parabolic cylinder is either empty or filled with rigid material. Also, the problems of a semi-infinite line crack and a semi-infinite rigid ribbon as two limiting cases are treated. Displacements and stresses are calculated near the base of the parabola. In the case of a line crack or a rigid ribbon, the singular behavior of stresses is shown to be of the order of (kr)−1/2, where k is the wave number and r the distance from the tip.

When the radius of a hole reduces to nanometers, the influence of surface energy becomes prominent in its mechanical behavior. In the present paper, we consider the diffraction of plane compressional waves by an array of nanosized circular holes in an elastic medium. The effect of surface energy is taken into account through surface elasticity theory. Using the wave expansion method, we derive the corresponding elastic diffraction fields. Dynamic stress concentrations around the holes and the scattering cross section are calculated to address the surface effects on the diffraction phenomena.

Dynamic stress concentrations were determined for a strut with a centrally located hole by employing photoelastic measurements. Single spark photography together with controlled repeated loadings on Columbia resin CR-39 models was utilized to obtain the dynamic fringe pattern. In general, it was found that the dynamic stress concentrations differed significantly from the static stress concentrations. The difference depended upon the geometry of the model and the location at the boundary of the hole.
