Directional Control of Rayleigh Wave Propagation in an Elastic Lattice by Gyroscopic Effects

We discuss the propagation of Rayleigh waves at boundary a semi-infinite elastic lattice connected to system gyroscopic spinners. present derivation analytical solution equations governing when is subjected force acting on boundary. show that results are in excellent agreement with outcomes independent finite element simulations. In addition, we investigate influence load direction, frequency and properties model dynamic behavior micro-structured medium. The main result response forced discrete not symmetric respect point application effect spinners taken into account. Accordingly, represents an important example non-reciprocal Hence, it can be used practical applications split energy coming from external source different contributions, propagating directions.
