The properties of a surface acoustic wave moving along the edge of an elastic wedge are studied. The equations defining the character of the wave motion under consideration are obtained. A method is proposed to determine field parameters that adequately describe the experimentally confirmed acoustic phenomena taking into account the characteristics of wave propagation in the wedge-shaped region. The results of the theoretical study are compared with experimental data obtained on an original device used to determine displacements in small surface areas. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
