In 1885, an English scientist, Lord Rayleigh, had hypothetically shown 3 that waves could be propagated over the plane boundary between a vacuum (or an adequately rarefied medium, air for example), ...

Vibrations known as Rayleigh waves then travel outward from the pulse, moving the ground up and down as they go. For decades, scientists have understood the vertical component of ocean-storm ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...

They showed that a small pine forest in Grenoble could reflect most of the energy within certain frequency bands of “Rayleigh waves”, which travel just under the surface and are generated by the wind ...

SBV, like the other stations, shows long monochromatic signal with ~17s period (mono-freq Rayleigh waves?). But filtered above 1Hz SBV (lower plot) also shows seismic(?) signals from repeating ...

Known as Rayleigh waves (for Lord Rayleigh, who predicted their existence in 1885), these vibrations move through the ground like waves move on the surface of the ocean. They travel at 10 times ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham focused on so-called Rayleigh waves - energy that passes over the surface of objects when they are struck. They found that, when it comes to touch ...

Earthquakes generate what are known as Rayleigh waves: undulating motions intense near the source and diminishing over distance. Hale said he's pretty sure that's what the recorder picked up.
