9 results about "Stoneley wave" patented technology

A Stoneley wave is a boundary wave (or interface wave) that typically propagates along a solid-solid interface. When found at a liquid-solid interface, this wave is also referred to as a Scholte wave. The wave is of maximum intensity at the interface and decreases exponentially away from it. It is named after the British seismologist Dr. Robert Stoneley (1894–1976), Emeritus Professor of Seismology at the University of Cambridge, who discovered it on October 1, 1924.
