Quantitative evaluation of surface damage in brittle materials by acoustic microscopy
We describe theoretical methods to assess the effects of distributions of surface breaking cracks on the velocity of surface acoustic waves (Rayleigh waves). The cracks are considered either as linear, one-dimensional cracks, or as semi-elliptical two-dimensional cracks. We find reductions in surfac...
