Abstract
This study reveals that leaky Rayleigh waves, when scattered at the extremity of a thick plate swamped in water, generate leaky Rayleigh waves that propagate around the corner. Furthermore, it is experimentally proved that leaky Rayleigh waves are stimulated by the borders of a Gaussian-bounded beam and not by the interior of the beam. A comparison between the scattering of leaky Rayleigh waves and the scattering of Scholte–Stoneley waves at the extremity is also outlined and shows that leaky Rayleigh waves on the vertical edge at the extremity of the plate are best stimulated by means of incident leaky Rayleigh waves and not by means of Scholte–Stoneley waves.
