LOVE WAVE

Specialty Definition: LOVE WAVE

DomainDefinition

Geological

A major type of surface wave having a horizontal motion that is shear or transverse to the direction of propagation (travel). It is named after A.E.H. Love, the English mathematician who discovered it.<>. (references)
 A type of seismic surface wave having a horizontal motion that is transverse (or perpendicular) to the direction the wave is traveling. (references)

Mining

A. A transverse wave propagated along the boundary of two elastic media that both have rigidity; i.e., both media must be capable of propagating transverse waves b. A surface seismic wave in which the particles of an elastic medium vibrate transverse to the direction of the wave's travel, with no vertical component c. A type of surface wave having a horizontal particle motion that is transverse to the direction of propagation. Its velocity depends only on density and rigidity modulus, and not on bulk modulus. It is named after A.E.H. Love, the English mathematician who discovered it. Syn:Q wave;Querwellen wave i.e., both media must be capable of propagating transverse waves. (references)

Physics

A wave which propagates along a stratum bounded on both sides by layers of material which differ from the stratum in elastic properties. The particle displacement inherent to the propagation of the wave is parallel to the wave-front and to the stratum. Source: European Union. (references)
