Trapping Elastic Waves by a Semi-Infinite Cylinder with Partly Fixed Surface
С. А. Назаров · Siberian Mathematical Journal · 2020
We consider the three-dimensional mixed boundary value problem in elasticity about time harmonic oscillations of a semi-infinite anisotropic cylinder. We show that for certain position and shape of the clamping zone of the surface the elastic wave is trapped; i.e., the problem admits a nontrivial solution with exponential decay at infinity or, conversely, the absence of the trapped wave is guaranteed on all frequencies. We state some open questions that concern similar spectral problems.
