Fig. 6.2. Rayleigh wave displacement velocity components as a function of depth from the surface, measured in Rayleigh wavelengths (a) longitudinal and shear components (eqns (6.44), (6.45), (6.51), and (6.52)) (b) components parallel and perpendicular to the surface (eqns (6.59) and (6.60)). The curves have been normalized to give the shear component at the surface a value of unity. The Poisson ratio o = 0.17, corresponding to fused silica, was used to calculate the curve.

Fig. 7.3. Ray model of an acoustic lens with negative defocus aa is an arbitrary ray, which is reflected at such an angle that is misses the transducer (or else hits the transducer obliquely and therefore contributes little to the signal because of phase cancellation across the wavefront) bb is the axial ray, which goes straight down and returns along the same path cc is the symmetrical Rayleigh propagated wave, which returns to the transducer normally and so also contributes to the signal. The wavy arrow indicates the Rayleigh wave.

This equation has an extremely important interpretation. In its differential form it means that, in two dimensions (with the x-axis lying in the plane of the interface between the solid and the fluid and the z-axis lying normal to the plane), if a pressure pjnc(x ) with implicit frequency dependence exp(iwt) acts along a strip in the y-direction at x of width dx, then the Rayleigh wave that is excited will propagate and the response in the fluid immediately above the surface at x will be...

Analysis of line-focus-beam V(z) data for 31 different materials and orientations, compared with calculated values, (a) Normalized measured period of the oscillations in V(z) versus calculated fluid-loaded Rayleigh wave velocity the curve is eqn (8.17). (b) Normalized measured attenuation from (8.19) versus calculated attenuation the line corresponds to perfect agreement (Kushibiki and Chubachi 1985).

Fig. 11.5. Profile of the particle displacement velocities in a Rayleigh wave in a GaAs(OOl) surface, propagating at an angle = 15° to a [100] direction. This figure is analogous to Fig. 6.2(b) for a Rayleigh wave in an isotropic medium, but in this case there are components of displacement in both horizontal axes, because of the anisotropy, and so three curves are needed they are normalized by setting the larger horizontal component to unity at the surface.

A particular conclusion from this theoretical analysis is that, if a crack has faces that are separated by a thin layer of fluid, so that normal components of traction and displacement are transmitted across the crack but the faces are free with regard to shear components of traction and displacement, then there will be a scattered wave however thin the fluid layer is. This is perhaps not surprising. A Rayleigh wave can exist only because solids can support both longitudinal and shear waves, and the greater part of the displacement in a Rayleigh wave is shear in character ( 6.3). Of course, liquids can support shear stress over a short distance. In a liquid of viscosity r/, and density po, at a frequency o) the amplitude of a shear wave decays by a factor e over a distance... 

Classical SAW devices utilize a Rayleigh wave, which has a normal component. Therefore SAWs face significant insertion loss when operating in liquids due to radiation of acoustic waves into the liquid. 

In most materials, however, the modification of the forces at the surface is such that the surface localized modes have frequencies which lie below the frequencies of an associated bulk band with the same symmetry they have the appearance of having been peeled down from this bulk band [24]. In the usual case, the lowest energy of all these peeled -down modes derives from the bulk transverse acoustic band and is normally sagittally polarized. This dispersion branch is called the Rayleigh wave (RW) because it was predicted by Lord Rayleigh from continuum wave theory over a century ago [38]. Helium atom scattering experiments on virtually every material so far investigated have detected the RW on clean crystalline surfaces. 

The frequencies of dispersionless modes, such as in the above figure, normally lie below those of the RW of the clean metal at the zone boundary. However, since the Rayleigh wave goes to zero at the zone center, the two... 

At the free surface of a solid, the wave velocity is altered because stresses normal to the surface must be zero. Surface waves, called Rayleigh waves, propagate with a velocity... 

Using a ray-tracing technique, one may understand this mechanism understood as follows. The period of this variation results from interference between the two components. Figure 6 shows one component which is spectrally reflected at normal incidence, while the second one undergoes a lateral shift on incidence and reradiates at the critical phase-matching angle for the surface acoustic wave (also referred to as leaky Rayleigh waves ). 

Ho is the normal electronic Hamilton operator, and the perturbations are described by the operators Pi and P2, with A determining the strength. Based on an expansion in exact wave functions, Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory (section 4.8) gives the first- and second-order energy collections.
