Explicit asymptotic formulations are derived for Rayleigh and Rayleigh-type interfacial and
edge waves. The hyperbolic–elliptic duality of surface and interfacial waves is established …

Over 50 years have elapsed since the first experimental observations of dynamic edge
phenomena on elastic structures, yet the topic remains a diverse and vibrant source of …

This study examines the propagation characteristics of flexural edge waves in a functionally
graded poroelastic plate within a thermal environment. A transversely isotropic, functionally …

Ultrasonic feature guided waves (FGW) have been found to exist in a variety of topographic
waveguides, such as welds, bends and stiffeners in plate-like structures. These FGWs are …

The paper presents experimental and theoretical studies of wave phenomena
accompanying transient edge waves (EW) excitation by a piezoelectric transducer attached …

Structural elements with edges are widely used across many industries and applications;
examples include tapered flange beams and the footing of rail tracks. The distant defect …

The existence of the edge waves spectrum predicted in a series of recent theoretical studies
is investigated and confirmed experimentally. Wave motion in 20 mm thickness aluminium …

The scattering problem of a Lamb wave incident on a symmetric pair of surface-breaking
transverse cracks in a plate is considered. The Lamb wave is assumed to be obliquely …

Detecting near-edge damage in composite structural elements using guided wave-based
techniques can be challenging, primarily due to the complexity of wave analysis arising from …

This paper addresses a theoretical procedure for control of the contour mode excitation
efficiency in thin piezoelectric arbitrarily-shaped resonators by adjusting the surface …
