Velocities of Long Period Surface Waves and Microseisms and Their Use in Structural Studies : Part I. Mantle Love and Mantle Rayleigh Waves and the Structure of the Earth's Upper Mantle. Part II. Microseisms and Their Application to Seismic Exploration [PDF]
Part I: Phase velocities of Love waves from five major earthquakes are measured over six great circle paths in the period range of 50 to 400 seconds. For two of the great circle paths the phase velocities of Rayleigh waves are also obtained.

Rayleigh waves generated by a thermal source: A three-dimensional transient thermoelasticity solution [PDF]
A three-dimensional transient thermoelastic solution is obtained for Rayleigh-type disturbances propagating on the surface of a half-space. These surface waves are generated by either a buried or surface thermal source, which has the form of a ...

Passive manipulation of low resonance scattering frequency associated with subsonic Rayleigh waves on submerged polymer spheres [PDF]
Observation of the backscattering form function for a solid polymethylmeth-acrylate(PMMA) sphere reveals a significant enhancement at low frequencies, which is associated with the subsonic Rayleigh waves resonance.

High-Accuracy Simulation of Rayleigh Waves Using Fractional Viscoelastic Wave Equation
The propagation of Rayleigh waves is usually accompanied by dispersion, which becomes more complex with inherent attenuation. The accurate simulation of Rayleigh waves in attenuation media is crucial for understanding wave mechanisms, layer thickness ...

Interacting Seismic Waveguides: Multimode Surface Waves and Leaking Modes
Recent developments in seismic recording provide dense sampling of the seismic wavefield that allows the extraction of higher surface wave modes as well as the fundamental, and in some circumstances also P-dominated modes.

A Pseudo-3D Model for Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMATs)
Previous methods for modelling Rayleigh waves produced by a meander-line-coil electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) consisted mostly of two-dimensional (2D) simulations that focussed on the vertical plane of the material.
