Abstract

In various areas of the acoustic NDT starting from nano and micro scales to geophysical scales, the high frequency Stoneley waves can give essential information on the physical properties of the adjacent layers along with information on possible interfacial cracks and other defects. The Wiechert condition imposed on the relation between bulk wave velocities of the contacting layers, play an important role in acoustic analyses, especially at analyzing high-frequency Stoneley waves arising and propagating along the interfaces. The present study concerns with a non-propagating condition for Stoneley waves at the vicinity of the Wiechert condition.
