| This talk investigates the scattering of biharmonic waves by a one-dimensional periodic array of cavities embedded in an infinite elastic thin plate. The transparent boundary conditions are introduced to formulate the problem from an unbounded domain to a bounded one. The well-posedness of the associated variational problem is demonstrated utilizing the Fredholm alternative theorem. The perfectly matched layer (PML) method is employed to reformulate the original scattering problem, transforming it from an unbounded domain to a bounded one. The transparent boundary conditions for the PML problem are deduced, and the well-posedness of its variational problem is established. Moreover, exponential convergence is achieved between the solution of the PML problem and that of the original scattering problem. |
