Abstract

The interaction of guided SH-waves with the beveled free end of a semi-infinite plate is analytically and numerically investigated. The material of the plate is assumed to be elastic, homogenous, and isotropic. The plate is modeled as a combination of a semi-infinite region and bounded wedged region separated by a common boundary. The analytical solution of the vertical free end case for the two regions is derived and used in verifying the numerical implementation. In this study, the SH0 and the SH1 first two incident modes are individually applied to analyze the corresponding reflected modes from the free end. Specifically, the elastic energy carried by the reflected modes is reported for a wide range of beveled angles and incident frequencies.
