Title: Propagating and evanescent modes in high-contrast laminates
Abstract: The talk will focus on the effects of strong inhomogeneity on the mechanical response of thin elastic layered structures. We will discuss the behaviour of the lowest cut-off frequencies, as well as end effects in semi-infinite laminates, highlighting the delicate interplay between evanescent and propagating modes. Dimensionally reduced formulations for anti-plane, plane, and 3D problems in elasticity will also be addressed, including the formulation of asymptotically rigorous boundary conditions based on the generalisation of the Saint-Venant’s principle.
