Edge effect
An effect whereby the acoustid effect at the edge (periphery) of a surface differs from that at the interior of the same surface.
For example, the figure below (from Young, p. 15; 25 kHz, 44.5 microns, 24 °C water) shows that the cavitation erosion at the periphery is significantly less than on the remainder of the horn's face.
