Asymptotic analysis of multi-layered waveguides with contrast parameters (2021)
Thesis
Alkinidri, M. O. S. (2021). Asymptotic analysis of multi-layered waveguides with contrast parameters. (Thesis). Keele University

The research is investigating anti-plane shear of a strongly inhomogeneous dynamic asymmetric laminate. Two types of contrast are considered, including those for composite structures with thick or thin stiff outer layers. In all types of contrast, th...

Control and suppression of elastic waves using periodic metasurfaces and bridges (2020)
Thesis
Wootton, P. T. (2020). Control and suppression of elastic waves using periodic metasurfaces and bridges. (Thesis). Keele University

This thesis discusses how wave propagation in continuous linearly elastic media can be controlled or suppressed using periodic structures. This involves controlling 2D waves on a membrane, 3D longitudinal and transverse waves in a linearly elastic bu...

Dynamic chirality and failure in structured materials with applications (2020)
Thesis
Garau, M. (2020). Dynamic chirality and failure in structured materials with applications. (Thesis). Keele University

We consider the vibration of two classes of discrete periodic systems and the resulting dynamic effects. We analyse elastic lattices connected to arrays of gyroscopic spinners, that confer chirality to the elastic system. It is shown in the time-harm...

Low-frequency vibrations of coated elastic structures (2019)
Thesis
Alzaidi, A. (2019). Low-frequency vibrations of coated elastic structures. (Thesis). Keele University

The thesis deals with 1D and 2D scalar equations governing the dynamic behaviour of coated elastic structures. Low-frequency vibration of a composite rod, beam, rectangular plate and circular plate are studied. The main focus is on physical effects t...

High-contrast problems in linear elasticity for a coated half-space (2019)
Thesis
Sultanova, L. (2019). High-contrast problems in linear elasticity for a coated half-space. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/413899

The thesis is concerned with asymptotic analysis of static as well as dynamic problems for a solid coated by a thin isotropic elastic layer with a high contrast in their material parameters. First, the static anti-plane shear deformation problem is c... Read More about High-contrast problems in linear elasticity for a coated half-space.
