The Scattering of Circular Cylindrical Cavity with Time-Harmonic SH Waves in Infinite Strip Region

Abstract:

The scattering of time harmonic SH waves by arbitrary positions of circular cylindrical cavity is studied in continuous, homogeneous, isotropic, elastic strip region. In this paper, the completely analytical expression of total wave field is explicitly presented and the dynamic stress distribution is symbolically visualized in the strip region. The total wave field is divided into four sub wave fields, incident wave field and scattering wave field by the upper bound, the lower bound and the cylindrical bound, on big arc supposition. Specific wave functions are employed for each wave field expansion in series, such as circular cylindrical functions, respectively. Corresponding infinite linear algebraic equations are constructed by means of solving coefficients of Fourier series expansion on each sub wave field. Coefficients of cylindrical function expansion of each sub wave field are determined by truncated equations, which are reduced number of coefficients on pre-given computational accuracy. Numerical results graphically describe the dynamic stress concentration factor around the circumference of the cavity and the normalized dynamic stress along the cross section directly above the cavity.
