contents Transverse depinning dynamics of a periodic-square-substrate modulated two-dimensional dusty plasma solid driven by a constant force in the longitudinal direction are investigated using Langevin dynamical simulations. During the increase of the commensuration ratio (the number ratio of particles to substrate potential wells), the nonmonotonic variation trend of the critical transverse depinning force is observed. It is found that the local maxima and minima of the critical transverse depinning force just correspond to the dynamical commensurate and incommensurate conditions, respectively. The dynamical commensurate effect is also clearly exhibited from the stable one-dimensional channel particle trajectories and the highly ordered structure, however, both the particle trajectories and the structure are more disordered under the incommensurate conditions. The nonmonotonic variation of the critical transverse depinning force is attributed to the stability of the lattice structure under various commensuration ratios.
