Abstract

Studying wave propagation characteristics in plates is vital for comprehending the material dynamics to enhance the strength of structures and for optimizing the effectiveness of non-destructive testing devices. Micropolar elasticity displays microcontinuum behavior by integrating rotational and coupling effects through displacements and micro-rotations. The present study thoroughly investigates horizontally polarized shear waves (SH) within a thin micropolar plate by employing diverse boundary conditions namely stress-free, clamped, and mixed conditions. Shear horizontal waves propagate within a plate by shearing the material along the surface, excluding any motion in perpendicular direction. Moreover, for a more comprehensive grasp of wave behavior in a micropolar plate, the study investigates P-SV type waves under plane strain conditions. Analytical techniques are utilized to derive the dispersion relations for SH and P-SV type waves in a micropolar plate. Graphical representations are provided to showcase the impacts of various micropolar parameters such as coupling number, characteristic length, and plate thickness on the phase velocities of SH and P-SV type waves. The study also includes a dispersion analysis of the multimode aspect of SH and P-SV waves. This thorough investigation can significantly augment the comprehension of wave propagation phenomena within plate-like structures.
