Abstract

Based on the second-order harmonic potential theory, the characteristics of the second-order harmonic field generated at the solid-liquid interface induced by P wave incidence are analyzed. A planar model of the solid-liquid interface is established to study the variation of the second-order displacement field versus the incident angles. The homogeneous solution coefficient matrix, refraction and reflection coefficient matrix are introduced. According to the boundary conditions and Lagrange's various parameters method, the second-order displacement field is obtained, and its dependence on the solid-liquid interface is investigated. The different effects of boundary on the tangential displacement and normal displacement are demonstrated. Numerical simulation shows that the complete solution varies slightly at the incident angle, and the tangential displacement and the normal displacement change sharply at a mutation angle θω due to the boundary effect.
