respectively. Hence, in view of the symmetry properties of
acoustic fields [9], the components ui (x, z) of the displace-
ment and the components σij (x, z) of the stress tensor i, j =
1, 3, satisfying the wave equation and Hooke’s law are split
into two groups of different parity in x. Hence, it is sufficient
to perform simulations within the area z ≤ 0, x ≥ 0 (Fig.
1) provided that one of the following two sets of boundary
conditions are put on the edge x = 0 (line AB in Fig. 1):
a) u1 = σ13 = 0; b) u3 = σ11 = 0. (1)
The incident BAW is polarized either longitudinally or trans-
versely along the x-axis. In the former case the conditions (1a)
are applied. In the latter case (1b) must be used.
In studying the SAW to BAW transformation, it is assumed
that a SAW is incident along the x axis perpendicular to the
grating. In this case the field of this SAW is decomposed
into two parts usaw1 and usaw2 whose components are x-
odd or x-even functions so that the computations are executed
twice in the domain shown in Fig. 1, where usaw1 and then
usaw2 play the role of source fields. The spatial spectra
of irradiated quasi longitudinal and quasi transverse BAWs,
i.e., the dependence of their amplitudes on the tangential
component of the wave vector, are also obtained by DFT
carried out inside the substrate at certain depth (see [11] for
more details). To single out BAWs of different branches, an Fig. 2. Magnitude of the z component of the displacement of SAW vs.
