Fu %J The Open Acoustics Journal %D 2008 %I Bentham Open %R 10.2174/1874837600801010015] %X It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be faster than the classic flexural acoustic wave in a straightedged, semi-infinite, thin plate, a wave which it mimics when the curvature radius becomes very large compared to the wavelength. %U http://www.benthamscience.com/open/toacoj/articles/V001/15TOACOJ.htm
