In elastodynamics, Love waves, named after A. E. H. Love, are horizontally polarized shear waves (SH waves) guided by an elastic layer, which is "welded" to an elastic half space on one side while bordering a vacuum on the other side.
In elastodynamics, Love waves, named after A. E. H. Love, are horizontally polarized surface wave. In fact the Love wave is a result of the interferation of many shear waves (SH waves) guided by an elastic layer, which is "welded" to an elastic half space on one side while bordering a vacuum on the other side.
