RESUMO

In the present study, efforts have been made to theoretically study the diffraction of plane harmonic compressional waves by a spherical nano-inclusion based on the Gurtin-Murdoch surface/interface elasticity theory in which the interface between the nano-inclusion and the matrix is considered as the material surface which has their own mechanical properties. Furthermore, a nano-composite has been considered in order to assess the size effect on the wave propagation characteristics of a plane compressional elastic wave containing the randomly distributed spherical nano-inclusions. Also, the phase velocities and attenuations of P and SV elastic waves along with the related dynamic effective elastic properties have been investigated for a wide variety of frequencies and volume fractions.
