Half-plane Green`s function for anti-plane elastic 1D hexagonal QCs

This paper presents an analytical derivation of a frequency-dependent fundamental solution plus a Green's function for the uni-dimensional, hexagonal quasicrystal sheet subjected to elastic waves under anti-plane strain conditions. Furthermore, closed-form solutions for the free-fields developing in this sheet for propagating shear waves are also obtained. The analysis presented here provides a foundation for understanding quasicrystal dynamic behavior and for advancing relevant computational methods.

Green's function for the viscoelastic and isotropic half-space

A dynamic 3D Green's function for the homogeneous, isotropic and viscoelastic (of the Zener type) half-space is derived in a closed form. The results obtained here can be used as either stand-alone solutions for simple problems or in conjunction with a boundary integral equation formulations to account for complex boundary conditions. In the later case, mesh-reducing boundary element formulations can be constructed as an alternative method for numerical implementation purposes.
