Diffraction of the Rayleigh-Lamb waves on the interface of two joined elastic halfstrips of different widths

Acoustic bulletin, Vol. 3 ¹ 3, (2000) p.32-43
On basis of method of superposition a diffraction of the Rayleigh-Lamb wave on a vertical boundary of waveguide formed by a strong contact of two halfstrips is calculated for case of their different widths and different elastic properties. It is shown that decrease of width of a halfstrip, in which the incident wave propagates, results in a qualitative change in energy redistribution of the incident wave between the reflected and transmitted fields. These changes are caused by significant distinctions in a degree of excitation of evanescent waves in both halfstrips at change of their width ratio.
