Abstract

For an arbitrary layered isotropic structure, new exact solutions of the elastodynamic problem for the propagation of surface waves are presented. These solutions describe waves with rectilinear wave fronts propagating at the phase velocities of common SH-polarized Love waves. They linearly depend on a lateral transverse variable and, in addition to being standardly SH-polarized, have a longitudinally polarized anomalous component. The construction uses the assumption of the existence of standard Love waves. It is based on a potential representation of the wavefield and is quite elementary.
