The method of multiple scales is employed to analyze the interaction of SH modes in an elastic plate having periodically corrugated outerfaces. Two types of resonant conditions leading to two-mode as well as four-mode interactions are considered. The results of the analysis are utilized to develop ultrasonic mechanical wave filters operating on frequency bands centered at the resonant frequency. The stop-band filter frequency response is presented in terms of the power reflection coefficient. The characteristics of reflection of these filters are enhanced by imposing amplitude taper on the periodic corrugations.
