Abstract
A solution of the scattering problem of guided SH-wave by a partly debonded circular cylinder centered in a traction free plate has been set up. The plate is divided up into three regions with two imaginary planes perpendicular to the plate walls. In the central region where the partly debonded cylindrical obstacle is posted, the wave field is expanded into the cylindrical wave modes and Chebyshev polynomials. In the other two exterior regions the fields are expanded into the plate wave modes. A system of fundamental equations to solve the problem is obtained according to the traction free boundary condition on the plate walls and the continuity condition of the traction and the displacement across the imaginary planes. The approximate numerical method termed mode-matching technique is used to construct a matrix equation to obtain curves showing the coefficient of reflection and transmission versus the ratio of the cylinder’s radius to the plate’s half-thickness and the angular width of the debonded region. A comparison of the numerical results between the welded interface condition and the debonded interface condition is made, and the results are discussed.
