Abstract
A collection of fundamental experimental results on edge waves propagating along the edge of free and immersed elastic wedges and plates were presented at the Special Session entitled “Long-Range NDE Using Guided Waves/Extended Overviews” chaired by Professor S. Rokhlin. This paper summarizes the experimental results discussed on the effect of wedge apex truncation and water loading on the phase velocity of the slowest antisymmetric flexural wedge mode. The remaining results that were presented on plate edge flexural waves and edge waves along elastic wedges with range-dependent apex angle are described elsewhere [1–4].
