Abstract

Propagation of antiplane SH wave in an anisotropic elastic half space is discussed. The plane surface does not coincide with the principal axis of the anisotropy, that is, the off-angled surface. The present paper composed of three parts. The first is the discussion of the power flow direction of SH wave, second is that of the reflection coefficient at the off-angled surface. The last part gives exact closed-form solutions for the transient and steady-state responses of the half space to a line antiplane load. Results obtained here are very basic, however, they would be useful for researchers of nondestructive inspection in the field of composite materials.
