Abstract
Long wave dispersion in an incompressible elastic layer subject to an initial static simple shear deformation is investigated. Long wave approximations of the dispersion relation associated with zero incremental traction on the faces are derived for both low and high-frequency motion. Comparison of approximate and numerical solutions is shown to provide excellent agreement over a surprisingly large wave number range. Within both the low and high-frequency regimes, the approximations are employed to establish the relative asymptotic orders of the displacement components and hydrostatic pressure. In the high-frequency case, the in-plane component of displacement is shown to be asymptotically larger than the normal component; motion is, therefore, essentially that of thickness shear resonance. The influence of this specific form of initial deformation is, therefore, seemingly minor in respect of longwave high-frequency motion. However, in the long-wave low-frequency case, considerable differences are noted in comparison with both the classical and previously published prestressed cases. Specifically, both the normal and in-plane displacement components are of the same asymptotic order, indicating the absence of any natural analogue of either classical bending or extension.
