Ground shock due to Rayleigh waves from sonic booms
It is demonstrated that potentially most serious situation occurs when velocity of plane is in close proximity to speed of Rayleigh waves in ground; magnification factors which are functions of nondimensional parameters are listed; these amplification factors indicate increase in all effects, (e.g. accelerations, stresses, etc) when velocity V' of plane approaches Rayleigh wave speed cR in ground compared with reference effect when V' differs substantially from cR; it is known that this reference effect is extremely narrow and study therefore indicated that rather delicate and very unlikely combination of circumstances would be required to produce significant response.
