The numerical solution of the elastodynamic problem with kinematic boundary conditions is considered using mixed finite elements for the space discretization and a staggered leap-frog scheme for the discretization in time. The stability of the numerical scheme is shown under the usual CFL condition. Using the general form of Robin-type boundary conditions some cases of debonding and the resulting acoustic emission are studied. The methodology presented finds applications to geophysics such as in seismic waves simulation with dynamic rupture and energy release. In this paper, we focus on problems of fracture occurring at the interface of composite materials. Our goal is to study both the mechanism of crack initiation and propagation, as well as the acoustic emission of the released structure-borne energy which may be used in structural health monitoring and prognosis applications.
