Semi-cylindrical gap and Multiple circular inclusions exists widely in natural media, composite materials and modern municipal construction. The scattering field produced by semi-cylindrical gap and multiple circular inclusions determines the dynamic stress concentration factor around the gap and circular inclusions, and therefore determines whether the material is damaged or not. These problems are complicated. It is hard to obtain analytic solutions except for several simple conditions. In this paper, the solution of displacement field for elastic semi-space with semi-cylindrical gap and multiple cylindrical inclusions by anti-plane SH-wave is constructed. In complex plane, considering the symmetry of SH-wave scattering , the displacement field aroused by the anti-plane SH-wave and the scattering displacement field impacted by the gap and the cylindrical inclusions comprised of Fourier-Bessel series with undetermined coefficients which satisfies the stress-free condition on the ground surface are constructed. Through applying the method of multi-polar coordinate system, the equations with unknown coefficients can be obtained by using the displacement and stress condition around the edge of the gap and cylindrical inclusions. According to orthogonality condition for trigonometric function, these equations can be reduced to a series of algebraic equations. Then the value of the unknown coefficients can be obtained by solving these algebraic equations. The total wave displacement field is the superposition of the displacement field aroused by the anti-plane SH-wave and the scattering displacement field. By using the expressions, an example is provided to show the effect of the change of relative location of the cylindrical inclusions.

The dispersive characteristic of anti-plane elastic waves propagating through laminated piezoelectric phononic crystal is studied in this paper. First, the transfer matrix method (TMM) and the Bloch theorem are used to derive the dispersion equation. Next, the dispersion equation is solved numerically and the dispersive curves are shown in Brillouin zone. The pass band and the stop band of anti-plane SH wave propagating perpendicular to and oblique to the laminated periodic structure are compared. The effects of the slope angle on the wave band structure are discussed.

Some previous transient analyses of dislocation emission from dynamically loaded cracks have treated glide at constant speeds, and have invoked an emissions criterion that allows the dislocation force to exceed the yield stress level during glide. In the context of nonstrain-hardening plasticity, this analysis requires that the force remain at the yield stress level. For an exact solution to the problem of screw dislocation emission from a crack subjected to plane SH-wave diffraction, the result is an equation of motion for the dislocation, which can be integrated exactly. The dislocation is found to accelerate during glide to a high but subcritical speed, before decelerating to its arrest position. A general incident SH-wave is considered, but is then specialized to the cases of a step-stress and a sinusoidal wave. Calculations on the basis of material and wave parameters show that purely brittle fracture can be difficult to achieve, and that wavelength/frequency cutoffs exist, beyond which emission cannot occur.
