Explicit Models for Flexural Edge Waves in Thin Orthotropic Plates

Analysis of flexural edge wave propagation in thin plates is presented. Several problems of semi-infinite plates vibrations are solved. These plates are assumed to be orthotropic. Some basic features of flexural edge wave propagation are found using the constructed explicit parabolic-ellipticmodels. They extract the localized wave contribution into the overall solution.

Explicit Models for Flexural Edge and Interfacial Waves in Thin Isotropic Plates

Exact solutions for problems of vibrations of isotropic thin elastic plates are presented in the work. Some basic principles of explicit dual parabolic-elliptic models for flexural edge and interfacial waves propagation are revealed. The obtained explicit models extract the contribution of the flexural wave into the full dynamic response. Also, these models reveal a dual parabolic-elliptic nature of the flexural edge and interfacial waves.
