Localization of Rayleigh waves
Physical Review B, 2000We study the localization of Rayleigh waves propagating in a semi-infinite and isotropic medium with inhomogeneities that are modeled as rods parallel to the incoming wave front and are distributed randomly up to a maximum depth. For a perfectly smooth surface, the localization length of a Rayleigh wave is predicted to reach a minimum at intermediate ...

The soliton of the Rayleigh wave
Physics Letters A, 1988Abstract A theory of self-induced transparency is constructed for the Rayleigh wave in a system which consists of a thin resonance transitional layer on a solid surface. The solution is obtained in the form of a soliton (2π-pulse of McCall and Hanh) for the Rayleigh wave.

Wave gradiometry for USArray: Rayleigh waves
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2009Wave gradiometry (WG) is a new array data processing technique to extract phase velocity, wave directionality, geometrical spreading, and radiation pattern from spatial gradients of waveforms. A weighted inversion method and a reducing velocity method are introduced to compute spatial gradients accurately for irregular arrays. Numerical experiments are

Tomographic imaging involves the collection of data from a series of projections through an object, and the reconstruction of variations in a chosen parameter across a two-dimensional section. It is now an established method for the reconstruction of images from ultrasonic data, and has been used widely in such areas as medical ultrasound and non ...

The Caustic of a Rayleigh-Wave
1989The method of caustic or shadow-spot technique is utilized to determine the caustic of a Rayleigh-wave. The size and shape of the caustic allow for characterization of the source of the Rayleigh-wave disturbance .

In this chapter, the mechanism for generating fluctuating reservoir pressures will be explored. The generation of surface waves and fluctuating pressures in the upstream reservoir due to gate motion will be examined. The energy input into surface waves is dissipated, or dispersed, as the waves travel away from the structure.

Rayleigh waves recorded at Lubbock, Texas, from natural earthquakes and from nuclear explosions are compared. Natural earthquakes generate both first-mode and second-mode Rayleigh waves, but the explosions generate only first-mode Rayleigh waves. Absence of second-mode Rayleigh waves from the explosions is related to a lack of SV energy in the source ...

It is now a century since LORD RAYLEIGH published his theoretical proof of the existence of elastic waves propagating along the plane surface of an elastic solid [1]. In reading this paper one is struck by the fact that, except for minor changes in notation, the formulation established by Rayleigh is still followed today in the theory of elastic guided

In an elastically isotropic semiinfinite medium having a free surface with a weak harmonic corrugation, the interaction between the Rayleigh wave guided along the free surface and the shear vertical and pressure bulk elastic waves propagating in the substrate is investigated for the propagation directions lying in a plane perpendicular to the average ...

In modern Rayleigh-wave devices, transducers are needed to generate Rayleigh waves in response to an applied electrical signal and to sense the waves so as to give an electrical output waveform. These are clearly key requirements for electronic devices, and are usually met by using interdigital transducers on piezoelectric substrates.
