SH Wave Scattering and Dynamic Stress Concentration in Piezomagnetic Materials with Non-Circular Openings

Abstract

The study uses complex variable functions and conformal mapping to investigate the scattering and dynamic stress concentration phenomena of SH waves in non-circular opening magnetic–elastic materials. Elastic dynamics and piezomagnetic equations are employed to derive expressions for the scattered wave intensity and dynamic stress concentration coefficient around non-circular openings. Special attention is devoted to elliptical openings, where different incident angles and dimensionless wave numbers exhibit varying effects on the dynamic stress concentration coefficients. The numerical results indicate a positive correlation between the dynamic stress concentration coefficient and the illumination region of elliptical openings, with low wave numbers exerting a more significant influence. These findings provide a valuable theoretical foundation for studying fatigue mechanics in piezomagnetic materials. Therefore, to enhance the performance and reliability of piezomagnetic materials, it is imperative to conduct elastic dynamic analysis of non-circular defects in low-frequency environments.
