Rayleigh Waves in Transversely Isotropic Media

On wave fronts, and boundary waves

“…O n the other hand, supersonic waves were studied by Bondi [I]. More recently there are articles by Lighthill [I51 and Buchwald [3] on waves produced by a periodically varying source. Asymptotic estimates at large distances in this problem can be related to features of the wave fronts from our instantaneous point source.…”

Theory of Transducer Radiation in Transversely Isotropic Media Introducing the Generalized Rayleigh Function

“…lying in the x-y-plane considered here should be treatable following the guidelines given by Buchwald [7].…”

“…,Kr) are given in Reference [6]. [7]. He examined the case of transversely isotropic media for fiber direction fixed to the x-direction.…”

“…With the free surface containing the axis of rotational symmetry, he obtained slowness as well as group velocity curves (wave curves) for several materials for the case a = 0°. Figure 2 shows the group velocity diagram for apatite, taken from Reference [7]; for fiber angle ai-0°, the diagrams are to be accordingly rotated. The difficulties involved with the evaluation of ngen(i!…”

Anisotropy Effects on Lamb Waves in Composite Plates

“…Using the method discussed in [13], ~ is represented in terms of the pseudopotentials, e. <P, and 1/J in the following form, where, e = f,(z)ei(kx+ly-wt)…”
