The existence of Rayleigh–Bloch surface waves
journal contribution
posted on 2009-04-01, 13:11 authored by C.M. Linton, M. McIverRayleigh–Bloch surface waves arise in many physical contexts including water waves and acoustics. They represent disturbances travelling along an infinite periodic structure. In the absence of any existence results, a number of authors have previously computed such modes for certain specific geometries. Here we prove that such waves can exist in the absence of any incident wave forcing for a wide class of structures.
