Nonlinear Surface Acoustic Waves in Crystalline and Thin-Film Systems

Monday, March 3, 2003 4:00 p.m. Dr. Ron E. Kumon Department of Physics University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada http://cronus.uwindsor.ca/units/physics/home.nsf/welcome?OpenForm http://cronus.uwindsor.ca/ The linear and nonlinear properties of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in crystalline and laminated media are significantly different from those of SAWs in an isotropic half-space. Selected numerical results are presented for the propagation…
