Abstract
Due to the elastic nonlinearity of the material, high-amplitude surface acoustic waves undergo nonlinear evolution during propagation and may lead to material failure. To enable the acoustical quantification of material nonlinearity and strength, a comprehensive understanding of this nonlinear evolution is necessary. This paper presents a novel ordinary state-based nonlinear peridynamic model for the analysis of the nonlinear propagation of surface acoustic waves and brittle fracture in anisotropic elastic media. The relationship between seven peridynamic constants and second- and third-order elastic constants is established. The capability of the developed peridynamic model has been demonstrated by predicting surface strain profiles of surface acoustic waves after propagating in the silicon (111) plane and the 〈112¯〉 direction. On this basis, the nonlinear wave-induced spatially localized dynamic fracture is also studied. The numerical results reproduce the main features of nonlinear surface acoustic waves and fracture observed in experiments.
