V. Ermolov et M. Luukkala, PROPAGATION OF PURE SHEAR SURFACE-WAVES IN MAGNETOSTRICTIVE POLYCRYSTALLINE FERRITES, IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 42(6), 1995, pp. 1009-1011
The launching and propagation of pure shear surface waves (SSW) in mag
netostrictive polycrystalline ferrite were studied. The results show t
hat SSW have lower sensitivity to surface quality than Rayleigh waves,
but the launching effectiveness by meander-type transducer is lower t
han for Rayleigh waves. The variation in phase velocity of SSW on a ma
gnetic field was 4.5%, which can be of interest in applications.
