Abstract
A method is described which allows to measure the elastic wave motion in the “interior” of two‐dimensional solid models. It is based on the measurements of the lateral deformations of a plate that are related to the state of compression in the plane of the plate. A capacitive detector measuring the motion has been developed.Wave front studies have been carried out in a half space, in two half spaces in contact and in a single‐layered half space. The experimental results are compared with theory. Special attention has been paid to the head wave.Keywords
