No idea. If it does that could be rather destructive on some materials. What is clear is that acoustic radiation pressure plays a role. And that's a subject that has caused a lot of confusion and false results throughout the history of acoustics as a science. Some big names (including Rayleigh) have burnt their fingers on it, so it's not and easy matter. To prime the confusion, there are at least two formulations of acoustic radiation pressure: one from Rayleigh (which depends on non-linearity) and one due to Langevin (which does not depend on it). Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
