We analyze the inverse spectral problem on the half line associated with elastic surface waves. Here, we extend the treatment of Love waves [arXiv: 1908.10529] to Rayleigh waves. Under certain conditions, and assuming that the Poisson ratio…
We illustrate properties of guided waves in terms of a superposition of body waves. In particular, we consider the Love and SH waves. Body-wave propagation at postcritical angles--required for a total reflection--results in the speed of the…
Love waves are dispersive interfacial waves that are a mode of response for anti-plane motions of an elastic layer bonded to an elastic half-space. Similarly, Stoneley waves are interfacial waves in bonded contact of dissimilar elastic…
