The theory of antisymmetric localized elastic modes propagating along edges of immersed wedge-like structures is developed using the geometrical-acoustics approach to the description of flexural waves in elastic plates of variable thickness. The velocities of these modes, often called wedge acoustic waves, are calculated using solutions of the dispersion equation of the Bohr-Sommerfeld type following from the geometrical-acoustics description of localized wedge modes. In a subsonic regime of wave propagation, i.e. for wedge modes slower than sound in liquid, the influence of liquid loading results in significant decrease of wedge wave velocities in comparison with their values in vacuum. This decrease is a nonlinear function of a wedge apex angle θ and is more pronounced for small values of θ. In a supersonic regime of wedge wave propagation, a smaller decrease in velocities takes place and the waves travel with the attenuation due to radiation of sound into the surrounding liquid. The comparison is given with the recent experimental investigations of wedge waves carried out by independent researchers.

ABSTRACTAn analysis is presented for wave propagation in infinite homogeneous elastic plates of piezoelectric materials. The analysis is an extension to the work by Shuvalov [1] on wave propagation in general anisotropic elastic plates. A real form of dispersion equation is provided for a piezoelectric plate subjected to different boundary conditions on the plate surfaces. Perturbation theory [2] is exploited to obtain long-wavelength low-frequency approximation for physical quantities of wave propagation, including wave amplitude, stress, electric potential, electric displacement and velocity.
