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 …

A consistent theory for thin anisotropic layered structures is developed starting from
asymptotic analysis of 3D equations in linear elasticity. The consideration is not restricted to …

Non-destructive detection and evaluation of fatigue cracks is critical to maintain safety and
effective operation of high-value assets working under cyclic loading. However, this can be …

In this article, an elastic foundation is used to study the characteristics of flexural edge waves
propagating on a piezoelectric structure. The nonlocal elasticity theory is introduced to …

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 …

Engineering structures are often composed of thin elements containing features such as free
edges, welds, ribs, and holes, which makes distant safety inspections based on guided …

The reflection of obliquely incident symmetric and anti-symmetric Lamb wave modes at the
edge of a plate is studied. Both in-plane and Shear-Horizontal (SH) reflected wave modes …

The measurement and evaluation of nonlinear elastic properties represents a great interest
in materials science and engineering. These measurements can be conducted using the …
