We study the scattering of elastic waves by platonic clusters in the time domain, both for plane wave excitations and for a specified initial wave profile. We show that we can use an analytical extension of our problem to calculate scattering frequencies of the solution. These allow us to calculate approximate solutions that give the flexural wave profile accurately in and around the cluster for large times. We also discuss the early-time behaviour of flexural waves in terms of the classical models of Sommerfeld and Brillouin. © 2011 The Royal Society.
