Rayleigh Waves: Do They Exist as an Exact Solution of Eringen’s Nonlocal Elasticity Theory in Its Integral Formulation?
摘要
Eringen’s original linear theory of nonlocal elasticity involves integral operators. We apply it to the problem of waves in an elastic half-space, hoping to find a generalization of Rayleigh waves. We solve the governing equations exactly and show that such a generalization does not exist.
