Abstract
We will now continue to investigate elastic waves in solids. Using the general equation of motion obtained in the previous chapter, we will show that two kinds of waves can exist in an elastic medium—longitudinal (compressional) and transverse (shear) waves. The simplest case—plane harmonic waves—will be considered in detail as well as their reflection at a plane boundary. The surface Rayleigh and Love waves will be discussed, too.
