Surface Acoustic Waves

Surface Acoustic Waves is a type of elastic wave that propagates along the surface of a solid medium, distinguished by its amplitude decay exponentially with depth into the material and its confinement to the boundary layer, enabling applications in sensing, signal processing, and non-destructive evaluation.
