WHTW02 - WHT Follow on: the applications, generalisation and implementation of the Wiener-Hopf Method

We investigate the scattering of in-plane waves in a triangular elastic lattice by a penetrable inertial line defect [1]. Through the application of the discrete Fourier transform, this problem can be reduced to the analysis of two scalar Wiener-Hopf equations involving the transformed displacements along the defected lattice row. From there, essential information can be extracted about: (i) all dynamic modes appearing in the scattering process, (ii) the symmetry properties of each mode, and (iii) parameter subdomains, defined by the incident wave frequency and inertial properties of the defect, where dynamic localised modes supported by the defect can appear. Upon solving the Wiener-Hopf equations, the lattice displacements can be represented by a contour integral, which can be used to investigate unusual scattering responses of the defect encountered outside of the low frequency regime. All analytical results presented are accompanied by numerical illustrations that demonstrate their effectiveness.
