Rayleigh predicted that these waves can be a notable component of earthquakes, a fact to be determined years later in the 1920s due to the introduction of seismographic recordings. Such waves 4 were ...

Rayleigh waves are created by impact between objects and are commonly thought to travel only along surfaces. The team discovered that, when it comes to touch, ...

Like Rayleigh waves, these waves travel just below ground and are generated when seismic waves travelling away from an earthquake’s epicentre reach the Earth’s surface. But, whereas Rayleigh waves ...

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

Rayleigh waves were first predicted in 1885 by Lord Rayleigh and are part of the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. A new study found they are generated through touch on skin at various ...

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 ...

The Rayleigh wave was imperceptible to humans, but the seismometers had no problem picking it up. “Referring to other seismic signals and satellite images, ...

"The effects of the earthquake, particularly the Rayleigh waves, resulted in disruption around the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) which is adjacent to the impact site," the authors of a new study explain.

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 ...
