In this study, the propagation and kinking of an interface crack between two dissimilar
artificial periodic structures with local resonators is investigated. By Fourier transform, the …

We study the propagation of a bridge crack in an anisotropic multi-scale system involving
two discrete elastic chains that are interconnected by links and possess periodically …

Dynamic Mode III interfacial fracture in a dissimilar square-cell lattice, composed of two
contrasting mass-spring lattice half-planes joined at an interface, is considered. The fracture …

In this study, the dynamic effective parameters and crack arrest behavior of locally resonant
metamaterials with multiple degrees of freedom are investigated. Based on the Wiener-Hopf …

Previous investigations on wave scattering and crack propagation in the discrete periodic
structure are concentrated on the conditional mass–spring model, in which the internal mass …

In this paper, we study the dynamic fracture of a dissimilar chain composed of two different
mass-spring chains and connected with other springs. The propagation of the fault (crack) is …

We consider the scattering of in-plane waves that interact with an edge of a structured
penetrable inertial line defect contained in a triangular lattice, composed of periodically …

The Wiener-Hopf (WH) method was created in 1931, by Norbert Wiener and Eberhard Hopf,
to deliver exact solutions to integral equations with convolutiontype kernels on a half-line. It …

The extent to which time-dependent fracture criteria affect the dynamic behavior of fracture in
a discrete structure is discussed in this work. The simplest case of a semi-infinite isotropic …

In recent decades, the incubation time has become a critical parameter to study dynamic
failures for materials, but its underlying physical meaning is still vague and the …
