Modeling and Measurement of Nonlinear Surface Waves*
Monday, October 14, 1996 3:30 p.m. Doug Meegan Applied Research Laboratories The linear theory for small-signal surface waves (Rayleigh, Scholte, and Stoneley) will be reviewed, and conditions for the existence of these modes of propagation will be described. Next, a nonlinear theory for finite-amplitude Stoneley and Scholte waves will be presented. The theory generalizes an…
