Abstract

This research develops an analytical model (using Stroh's formalism) to predict the affect of applied stress on the wave speed and the polarization of Rayleigh surface waves. Simulation results are then used to demonstrate that the polarization of a Rayleigh wave (which is reference-free) could be more sensitive than wave speed as an indicator of the state of stress.
