So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain circumstances. They only exist below a precisely defined cut-off frequency ...

Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. Two examples of surface waves are Rayleigh waves and Love waves. Explain to your students that Rayleigh waves cause the ground to ripple up and down ...

The numerous stainless steel struts aligned parallel to each other are also ideal for generating Rayleigh–Bloch waves. These are vibrations that propagate from gap to gap between the struts and ...
