Abstract
We propose an analytical framework to model the effect of single and multiple mechanical surface oscillators on the dynamics of vertically polarized elastic waves propagating in a semi-infinite medium. The formulation extends the canonical Lamb's problem, originally developed to obtain the wavefield induced by a harmonic line source in an elastic half-space, to the scenario where a finite cluster of vertical oscillators is attached to the medium surface. In short, our approach utilizes the solution of the classical Lamb's problem as Green's function to formulate the multiple scattered fields generated by the resonators. For an arbitrary number of resonators, arranged atop the elastic half-space in an arbitrary configuration, the displacement fields are obtained in closed-form and validated with numerics developed in a two-dimensional finite element environment.
