Comment on "On the complex conjugate roots of the Rayleigh equation: the leaky surface wave".

چکیده
In recent experiments and numerical studies, a leaky surface wave has been observed at the surface of an isotropic homogeneous elastic solid. This paper gives a detailed description of this leaky surface wave and explains its origin from the fundamental differential equations. Theoretically, the leaky surface wave arises from the complex conjugate roots of the Rayleigh equation. The complex conjugate roots give rise to a wave that propagates along the surface and is coupled to a plane shear wave in the medium. Due to the coupling, the surface wave leaks energy into the medium and is highly inhomogeneous. Its particle motion at the surface is prograde in nature, distinguishing it from the well-known Rayleigh surface wave which causes a retrograde particle motion. © 2001 Acoustical Society of America. @DOI: 10.1121/1.1419085#

Problem of Rayleigh Wave Propagation in Thermoelastic Diffusion
In this work, the problem of Rayleigh wave propagation is considered in the context of the theory of thermoelastic diffusion. The formulation is applied to a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic half space with mass diffusion at the stress free, isothermal, isoconcentrated boundary. Using the potential functions and harmonic wave solution, three coupled dilatational waves and a shear wave is obt...
