Rayleigh–Bloch waves along elastic diffraction gratings

چکیده
Rayleigh-Bloch (RB) waves in elasticity, in contrast to those in scalar wave systems, appear to have had little attention. Despite the importance of RB waves in applications, their connections to trapped modes and the ubiquitous nature of diffraction gratings, there has been no investigation of whether such waves occur within elastic diffraction gratings for the in-plane vector elastic system. We identify boundary conditions that support such waves and numerical simulations confirm their presence. An asymptotic technique is also developed to generate effective medium homogenized equations for the grating that allows us to replace the detailed microstructure by a continuum representation. Further numerical simulations confirm that the asymptotic scheme captures the essential features of these waves.

An asymptotic theory for waves guided by diffraction gratings or along microstructured surfaces
An effective surface equation, that encapsulates the detail of a microstructure, is developed to model microstructured surfaces. The equations deduced accurately reproduce a key feature of surface wave phenomena, created by periodic geometry, that are commonly called Rayleigh-Bloch waves, but which also go under other names, for example, spoof surface plasmon polaritons in photonics. Several il...
متن کاملEmbedded Rayleigh–Bloch surface waves along periodic rectangular arrays
In this paper, surface waves in the presence of an infinite periodic array of obstacles of rectangular cross-section are considered. Rayleigh–Bloch surface waves are described by a localised wave motion which does not propagate energy away from the array. The periodicity of the array implies the existence of a cut-off frequency below which Rayleigh–Bloch surface waves may be sought. Such soluti...
متن کاملA new approximation method for scattering by long finite arrays
The scattering of water waves by a long array of rigid vertical circular cylinders is analysed under the usual assumptions of linear theory. Our primary goal is to show how solutions obtained for semi-infinite arrays can be combined to provide accurate and numerically efficient solutions to problems involving long, but finite, arrays. The particular diffraction problem considered here has been ...
متن کاملRayleigh Waves in a Homogeneous Magneto-Thermo Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Half-Space under Initial Surface Stresses
This paper deals with the propagation of magneto-thermo Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space under initial stress. It has been observed that velocity of Rayleigh waves depends on viscosity, magnetic field, temperature and initial stress of the half-space. The frequency equation for Rayleigh waves under the effect of magnetic field, stress and temperature for both viscoelastic...
