Übersetzung für 'Rayleigh waves' von Englisch nach Deutsch

Rayleigh waves

Rayleigh-Wellen {pl}geol.

• John Louie (and others) based on previously existing principles of evaluating surface waves and in particular Rayleigh waves.
• As in Rayleigh waves which propagate along single free surfaces, the particle motion in Lamb waves is elliptical with its "x" and "z" components depending on the depth within the plate.
• There are two types of surface waves, namely Rayleigh waves and Love waves.
• Surface waves propagate along the Earth's surface, and are principally either Rayleigh waves or Love waves.
• Some zoologists hypothesise that some animal species have an ability to sense subsonic Rayleigh waves from an earthquake or a tsunami.

• Spheroidal modes only involve P and SV waves (like Rayleigh waves) and depend on overtone number "n" and angular order "l" but have degeneracy of azimuthal order "m".
• SAWs such as Love and Rayleigh waves tend to propagate for much longer than bulk waves, as they only have to travel in two dimensions, rather than in three.
• Rayleigh waves constitute most of the secondary microseismic field.
