Scattering from a non-linear structured interface

Abstract

We review the scattering from non-linear interfaces containing buckling elastic beams. An illustrative example is discussed here of scattering of linear elastic pressure waves from a two-mass system connected by a non-linear structured interface modelled as elastica. In the first instance, the interaction between the masses is linearised. This allows for the study of a time-harmonic transmission model problem in the subcritical regime. Subsequently, we consider the transient problem associated with a non-linear ineraction within the interface. The effect of non-linearity is shown to suppress the transmission resonance observed in the linearised formulation.
