Abstract
Nonlinear reflection of SV shear wave at the isotropic solid interfaces is experimentally studied. The reflected second harmonic SV shear wave is measured for glass-air, glass-iron, copper and aluminum interfaces. The relation of nonlinear reflective coefficient with the incident angle and linear as well as nonlinear characteristics of the materials is thoroughly investigated. Comparison of the experiment with the theory gives qualitatively agreement.
