| Popis: | In this paper, the effect of a large pre-stress on the propagation of small amplitude Lamb waves in an incompressible elastic plate is investigated. Using the theory of incremental elasticity, the dispersion equations, which give the phase velocity of the symmetric and anti-symmetric wave modes as a function of the wavenumber, plate thickness, and pre-stress state, are derived for a general strain energy function. By considering the fourth-order strain energy function of incompressible isotropic elasticity, the correction to the phase velocity due to the pre-stress is obtained implicitly to the second order in the pre-strain/stress, and depends on the second, third, and fourth-order elastic constants. Numerical results are presented to show the dependence of the phase velocity of the Lamb wave modes upon the applied stress. These are compared to the first-order correction, and agree well with the limiting and asymptotic values obtained previously. It is envisaged that the present results may well find important practical applications in various guided wave based ultrasonic techniques utilising gels and rubber-like materials. |
