The Scattering of SH-wave by a cylindrical elastic inclusion on horizontal interface in bi-material space with a semicircular debonded above subsurface circular cavity have been considered using the methods of complex function and Green function. Firstly, we divide the solution domain along the interface and disconnected boundary into two half-spaces, an upper one and a lower one. And Green function was constructed by using the methods of complex function and multi-polar coordinate. Secondly, the bi-material media was connected along the horizontal interface using the idea of interface conjunction, then undetermined anti-plane forces were loaded at the linking sections respectively to satisfy continuity conditions, and a series of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind to determine that the unknown forces could be set up through continuity conditions on surface. Finally, some examples for DSCF around cylindrical elastic inclusion edge are presented and discussed. Numerical results show that subsurface circular cavitys existence notablely influences DSCF of around cylindrical elastic inclusion edge with a semicircular debonded above subsurface circular cavity.

The analytical solution to the problem of the scattering of SH-wave by isosceles triangular hill near the subsurface cavity in right-angle plane is given by using the idea of match up. Firstly, wave function was constructed by using the methods of complex function, multi-polar coordinate transformation and superposition principle, which satisfied the stress free boundary conditions at the free surfaces for the right-angle plane possessing a circular cavity. Secondly, transform the wave field from the right-angle plane to the half space by using the method of mirror image in order to obtain the total wave filed, which satisfied the boundary conditions. Finally, based on the conditions of the displacement continuity and stress continuity at the “common border” and the stress free condition at the subsurface cavity edge, a series of infinite algebraic equations were given and solved by truncation. Meanwhile, some examples and results are given and discussed.

Scattering of SH wave by an elastic half space with a circular cavity and a crack in any position and direction is studied with Green’s function, complex function and multi-polar coordinate method. First, a suitable Green’s function is constructed, which is the fundamental solution of the displacement field for a half space with a circular cavity impacted by an out-plane harmonic line source loading at an arbitrary point in half space. Then a crack in any position and direction is constructed by means of crack-division in half space. Finally the displacement field and stress field are established in the case of coexistence of circular cavity and crack, and the expression of dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF) at the tip of crack is given. According to numerical examples, the influences of different parameters on DSIF are discussed.

ABSTRACTThe scattering of plane SH-wave from a partially debonded shallow cylindrical elastic inclusion in half space is investigated in this paper by complex function method and expansion method of wave function. The debonding regions are considered as multiple arc-shaped interface cracks with non-contacting faces. Firstly, in the inclusion district, the standing wave function in the elastic inclusion with unknown coefficients which satisfies the boundary condition is constructed and generated into the Fourier series; in the half space, the stress and displacement boundary condition around the elastic inclusion can be modeled as the same as the standing wave function in the elastic inclusion. Then, a set of infinite algebraic equations can be obtained around the same boundary and the solution of problem can be gained. In the end, numerical examples of the surface displacement are provided and discussed. It is found that the interface cracks can raise the surface displacement amplitudes to a certain degree.

Semi-cylindrical gap and Multiple circular inclusions exists widely in natural media, composite materials and modern municipal construction. The scattering field produced by semi-cylindrical gap and multiple circular inclusions determines the dynamic stress concentration factor around the gap and circular inclusions, and therefore determines whether the material is damaged or not. These problems are complicated. It is hard to obtain analytic solutions except for several simple conditions. In this paper, the solution of displacement field for elastic semi-space with semi-cylindrical gap and multiple cylindrical inclusions by anti-plane SH-wave is constructed. In complex plane, considering the symmetry of SH-wave scattering , the displacement field aroused by the anti-plane SH-wave and the scattering displacement field impacted by the gap and the cylindrical inclusions comprised of Fourier-Bessel series with undetermined coefficients which satisfies the stress-free condition on the ground surface are constructed. Through applying the method of multi-polar coordinate system, the equations with unknown coefficients can be obtained by using the displacement and stress condition around the edge of the gap and cylindrical inclusions. According to orthogonality condition for trigonometric function, these equations can be reduced to a series of algebraic equations. Then the value of the unknown coefficients can be obtained by solving these algebraic equations. The total wave displacement field is the superposition of the displacement field aroused by the anti-plane SH-wave and the scattering displacement field. By using the expressions, an example is provided to show the effect of the change of relative location of the cylindrical inclusions.

The dynamic stress concentration on quadratic and U-shaped cavities in half space, which are similar to the cross-section of the tunnels, is solved in this paper impacted by SH-wave. The analytical solution for the cavity in elastic half space is gained by the complex function method. In the complex plane, the scattering wave which satisfies the zero-stress condition at the horizontal surface can be constructed, the problem can be inverted into a set of algebraic equations to solve coefficients of the constructed scattering wave by least square method. For the earthquake-resistance researches, the numerical examples of the dynamic stress concentration around the quadratic and U-shaped cavities impacted by SH-wave are given. The influences of the dynamic stress concentration by the incident wave number and angle, the depth and shape of the cavity are discussed. It is showed that the interaction among the wave, the surface and the shallow buried tunnels should be cared in half space. In this situation, the dynamic stress concentration around the tunnel is greater obvious than the whole space.
