  • SH wave scattering in Eringen’s nonlocal elastic solid using the method of fundamental solutions

    Eringen’s nonlocal elastic solid is a mechanical model that enables the analysis of phenomena difficult to describe using classical elasticity. This study analyzed wave scattering in nonlocal elastic solids using the method of fundamental solutions, a meshfree numerical method. An analytical representation of the traction operator specific to nonlocal elasticity was derived, and scattering characteristics relevant to ultrasonic nondestructive testing were evaluated.
