Two model analyses are constructed in order to determine the influence of bonding materials on the dynamic behavior of otherwise bilaminated composites. The geometric arrangement of the composite with the bond is treated as a special type of a trilaminated composite in which each of its major constituents is sandwiched between two bonding layers. In the first model, the recently developed continuum mixture theories of wave propagation in bilaminated composites [2] are extended to treat the trilaminated composite. Here details of the propagation process in the major components and also in the bonding layers are derived. In the second model, the entire effect of the bonds is treated as a modifier to interfacial continuity conditions. In this model the details of the propagation process in the bonding material are ignored. It is found that the results of both models correlate well for relatively thin bonding layers.

A continuum theory with microstructure for wave propagation in laminated composites, proposed in previous works concerning propagation normal and parallel to the laminates, is extended herein to the general two-dimensional case. Continuum model construction is based upon an asymptotic scheme in which dominant signal wavelengths are assumed large compared to typical composite microdimensions. A hierarchy of models is defined by the order of truncation of the obtained asymptotic sequence. Particular attention is given to the lowest order dispersive theory. The phase velocity spectrum of the general theory is investigated for one-dimensional wave propagation at various propagation angles with respect to the laminates. Retention of all terms in the asymptotic sequence is found to yield the exact elasticity spectrum, while spectral collation of the lowest order dispersive theory with the first three modes of the exact theory gives excellent agreement.

This paper is concerned with the numerical modeling of elastic wave propagation in layered media. It considers two isotropic homogeneous elastic solids in perfect contact. The interface is parallel to the free surface. Two finite difference methods are developed. The usefulness of the methods are investigated for long time simulations and the accuracy of the results are compared with the response from an approximate model.
