Several methods are available for the generation and reception of Rayleigh waves on a part surface. The use of the so‐called “comb” is one method, where the comb elements or “fingers” contact the surface with a spacing between adjacent fingers equal to the Rayleigh wavelength of the substrate for a given frequency. Although efficient and simple, a fixed pitch comb is typically useful only at one frequency for a particular substrate. A simple “parallel link” fixture has been developed where the pitch of the fingers can be varied over a range of spacings, allowing the operator to set the comb pitch for a particular material/frequency at will. The comb elements may be glued to the wear plate of a longitudinal transducer or simply fluid coupled. Elements of the fixture and tests results of the fixtures used for generating Rayleigh waves on aluminum and steel substrates are shown.

Composites with negative stiffness inclusions in a viscoelastic matrix are shown to have higher stiffness and mechanical damping tanδ than that of either constituent and exceeding conventional bounds. The causal mechanism is a greater deformation in and near the inclusions than the composite as a whole. Though a block of negative stiffness is unstable, negative stiffness inclusions in a composite can be stabilized by the surrounding matrix. Such inclusions may be made from single domains of ferroelastic material below its phase transition temperature or from prebuckled lumped elements.

The cell, as the most fundamental unit of life, is a microcosm of biology in which the confluence of nearly all aspects of classical physics (mechanics, statistical physics, condensed matter, and electromagnetism) plays out. This leads to a rich and complex emergent behavior that determines the entire gamut of biological functions. Specifically, at the cellular scale, mechanical forces and deformations are inextricably linked to electrical fields (and, to a lesser degree, magnetic fields). This in turn is responsible for phenomenology such as cell-cell communication, morphological evolution, cell fusion, self-assembly, cell fission, magnetoreception, endocytosis, and adhesion, among others. From the viewpoint of biomedicine, cellular response to the combined influence of electrical, magnetic, and mechanical fields has applications in cancer treatment, targeted transfer of medicine, gene therapy, and wound amelioration. As an example of the profound influence of the combined electrical-mechanical coupling, one needs to take cognizance only of the operation of ion channels that form the basis for our sensing system (such as hearing, sight, and tactile sense). The coupled mechanical and electromagnetic behavior of a cell is a highly interdisciplinary endeavor and this review provides a distillation of both the theoretical underpinnings of the subject and the pertinent biological interpretation. The key developments pertaining to this topic are reviewed, a unified mathematical framework that couples nonlinear deformation and electromagnetic behavior as germane for soft biological entities is summarized, gaps in current knowledge are pointed out, and the central issues that are pertinent to future research are commented upon.
