Abstract

Reflection and refraction are investigated when the incidental angles of transverse waves are larger than the critical one. An interesting result is obtained that at this angle all the second-order displacements on the stress-free surface have a very strong maximum module and a phase leap; thereupon an appropriate second-order harmonic surface wave could be produced.
