Abstract
The interaction of a plane harmonic longitudinal wave with a thin circular elastic inclusion is considered. The wave front is assumed to be parallel to the inclusion plane. Since the inclusion is thin, the matrix-inclusion interface conditions (perfect bonding) are formulated on the mid-plane of the inclusion. The bending displacements of the inclusion are determined from the bending equation for a thin plate. The problem is solved using discontinuous Lamé solutions for harmonic vibrations. Therefore, the problem can be reduced to the Fredholm equation of the second kind for a function associated with the discontinuity of normal stresses on the inclusion. The equation obtained is solved by the method of mechanical quadratures using Gaussian quadrature formulas. Approximate formulas for the stress intensity factors are derived. Results from a numerical analysis of the dependence of the SIFs on the dimensionless wave number and the stiffness of the inclusion are presented
