It is shown in this paper, just published in J. Appl. Mech., that the observed anomalies in the Love wave dispersion in the Earth can be explained by the occurrence of slip waves.

JRF Position in SERB Sponsored Research Project
Mahindra École Centrale, Hyderabad invites applications for the post of a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in the SERB sponsored project entitled “Role of antiplane slip waves in rupture dynamics”. The project will involve analytical and numerical studies of a new type of an interfacial elastic wave called the antiplane slip wave.
Abstract:
It is shown that a slip wave solution exists for anti-plane sliding of an elastic layer on an elastic half-space. It is a companion solution to the well-known Love wave solution.
