Abstract
When the radius of materials and structral devices reduces to nanometers, the influence of surface energy becomes prominent in its mechanical behavior. In the frame of surface elasticity, the scattering of anti-plan shear waves by an elastic half-plan with a semi-cylindrical cavity considered the surface energy are investigated in this paper. When the boundary condition at the straight edge of the half-plan is traction free, the analytical solutions of stress fields of the half plan with semi-culindrical cavity are expressed by employing a wave function expansion method. The results show that surface energy has a significant effect on the scattering of anti-plan shear waves as the radius of the semi-cylindrical cavity shrinks to nanoscale. The effects of incident waves with different frequencies and incident angel, radius of semi-cylindrical cavity and surface energy on the dynamic stress concentration around the semi-cylindrical cavity are discussed in detail.
