Abstract
Although bulk P- and S-waves are the types of waves most commonly used in NDE testing, there are other types of waves that can exist in elastic solids that are useful as well. In this Chapter, we will consider briefly the properties of surface (Rayleigh) waves and plate (SH and Lamb) waves that make them attractive for special NDE inspection applications.
