Abstract
The response of imperfect planar bi-material bonds to wave excitation is considered in the time domain. Two semi-infinite linear elastic homogeneous solids are bonded together to form an imperfect bond which is modelled as a continuous distribution of infinitesimal nonlinear springs. At the macrolevel, the springs are characterized by average nonlinear and damping parameters. For oblique wave incidence the response is given as the solution to a nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation. A parametric study is performed for different wave pulses, angles of incidence, elastic solids, and nonlinear models. An analytical solution is also presented for small nonlinearities.
