Abstract
This paper is concerned with 2D localised vibration in incompressible pre-stressed fibre-reinforced elastic solids and the closely related problem of surface wave propagation in such materials. An appropriate constitutive model is derived and its stability discussed within the context of the strong ellipticity condition. Surface wave propagation in an associated half-space is considered, with the particular cases of propagation along a principal direction of primary deformation and that of almost inextensible fibres also investigated. The problems of free and forced edge vibration of a semi-infinite strip are analysed, revealing a link between the natural edge frequencies and the associated Rayleigh surface wave speed.
