Abstract
The frequency-independent transmission and reflection coefficients for two-dimensional Rayleigh waves incident upon a corner have been measured experimentally as a function of angle. The coefficients were obtained by Fourier analysis of pulses observed in a laboratory model. The amplitude values AT and AR are in agreement with previous experimental evidence. The phase shifts account for wave-shape changes noted previously. The experimental values show fair agreement with first-order theory for angles between 110° and 180°. For smaller angles interference occurs which is not adequately explained by the first-order theory.
