Dynamic anti-planar characteristics of circular holes in laminated structures under the action of line source

Abstract

Based on the complex variable function method and the wave function expansion method, the dynamic anti-plane characteristics of the circular hole in the laminated structure under line source excitation were studied. To deal with the interface problem within the laminated structure, the idea of “fit” is adopted to construct continuity conditions that satisfy displacement and stress. The circular hole boundary stress-free condition is used, the wave field is constructed using the mirror method, and the unknown coefficients of the scattered wave field are solved through Fourier series expansion, and finally the total wave field in the laminated structure is obtained. Taking the dynamic stress distribution of a circular hole in a laminated structure as a specific calculation example, the effects of changes in line source position, layer thickness, and medium hard-soft ratio on the dynamic stress concentration coefficient around the circular hole are discussed. The results show that when the line source load is applied directly above the circular hole and the lower layer is narrow, the dynamic stress concentration coefficient will have a sudden change compared with other situations. When other conditions are the same, under low, medium, and high-frequency wave fields, the dynamic stress concentration caused by different soft-to-hard ratios shows completely different rules. These rules can be used to better detect defects in laminated structures.
