Rayleigh wave manipulation based on phase shift between two periodic surface corrugations
The propagation of Rayleigh waves along solid surfaces has attracted great attention due to its ubiquity in seismic waves, non-destructive evaluation, acoustic surface wave devices, and so on.

A review on microtremor H/V spectral ratio method
The microtremor H/V spectral ratio is the ratio of the horizontal component to the vertical component of the ambient seismic noise at different frequencies, recorded at the earth surface.

Viscoelastic Rayleigh waves II [PDF]
The number of possible surface waves on a viscoelastic half-space is investigated numerically as a function of the material parameters. The results are applied to simple theoretical models of viscoelastic behavior and also to experimental data. It is concluded that two surface waves are possible on some rocks and on nearly all solid polymers.

Rayleigh–Taylor shock waves [PDF]
Beginning from a state of hydrostatic equilibrium, in which a heavy gas rests atop a light gas in a constant gravitational field, Rayleigh–Taylor instability at the interface will launch a shock wave into the upper fluid. We have performed a series of large-eddy simulations which suggest that the rising bubbles of light fluid act like pistons ...

We propose a simple method for 1D S-wave velocity (Vs) profile estimation using a measured surface S-wave velocity (V1) and peak frequency of the observed microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR).

Wave propagation in nonlocal orthotropic micropolar elastic solids
The presented paper is concerned with the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an orthotropic nonlocal micropolar elastic half-space. The main aim of the paper is to derive dispersion equations of Rayleigh wave as well as Stroh formalism for the orthotropic ...

Under special kinematic conditions helium atoms impinging upon a crystal surface can be inelastically trapped into a surface bound state and ride the created Rayleigh wave. This special case of phonon-assisted selective adsorption, leading to an atom-phonon bound state (atomic polaron), can explain previously unassigned resonant features observed in ...

Asymptotic Formulation for the Rayleigh Wave on a Nonlocally Elastic Half-Space
This paper deals with the Rayleigh wave, propagating on a nonlocally elastic, linearly isotropic half-space, excited by a prescribed surface loading. The consideration develops the methodology of hyperbolic–elliptic models for Rayleigh and Rayleigh-type ...

Rayleigh–bloch waves in CMUT arrays [PDF]
Using the small-signal electrical equivalent circuit of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) cell, along with the self and mutual radiation impedances of such cells, we present a computationally efficient method to predict the frequency response of a large CMUT element or array.

Supershear Rayleigh Waves at a Soft Interface [PDF]
We report on the experimental observation of waves at a liquid foam surface propagating faster than the bulk shear waves. The existence of such waves has long been debated, but the recent observation of supershear events in a geophysical context has inspired us to search for their existence in a model viscoelastic system.
