Abstract
We discuss the problem of edge resonance for Lamb waves in a semi-infinite discrete elastic strip, represented by a triangular lattice. In analogy with the reflection problem in the corresponding continuum, for real frequencies the edge resonance phenomenon for the lattice strip is characterised by localised vibrations at its free edge. By characterising the reflection coefficient in the complex frequency plane, we then verify the existence of a complex edge resonance frequency for the lattice, associated with a mode of the homogeneous problem without incident wave. Importantly, when the number of rows in the strip of fixed width is large, we show that the lattice edge resonance frequency converges to the corresponding frequency in the analogous continuum problem for the effective strip. Interestingly, convergence to the complex edge resonance frequency is monotonic only with respect to its real part, while its imaginary part exhibits a minimum absolute value, numerically undistinguishable from zero, for a lattice strip with 65 rows in the transverse direction.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Engineering Science is not limited to a specific aspect of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. While it encourages a broad spectrum of contribution in the engineering sciences, its core interest lies in issues concerning material modeling and response. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.
The primary goal of the new editors is to maintain high quality of publications. There will be a commitment to expediting the time taken for the publication of the papers. The articles that are sent for reviews will have names of the authors deleted with a view towards enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the review process.
Articles that are devoted to the purely mathematical aspects without a discussion of the physical implications of the results or the consideration of specific examples are discouraged. Articles concerning material science should not be limited merely to a description and recording of observations but should contain theoretical or quantitative discussion of the results.
