Strongly anisotropic surface elasticity and antiplane surface waves

Within the new model of surface elasticity, the propagation of anti-plane surface waves is discussed. For the proposed model, the surface strain energy depends on surface stretching and on changing of curvature along a preferred direction. From the continuum mechanics point of view, the model describes finite deformations of an elastic solid with an elastic membrane attached on its boundary reinforced by a family of aligned elastic long flexible beams. Physically, the model was motivated by deformations of surface coatings consisting of aligned bar-like elements as in the case of hyperbolic metasurfaces. Using the least action variational principle, we derive the dynamic boundary conditions. The linearized boundary-value problem is also presented. In order to demonstrate the peculiarities of the problem, the dispersion relations for surface anti-plane waves are analysed. We have shown that the bending stiffness changes essentially the dispersion relation and conditions of anti-plane surface wave propagation.
