Vernadskogo, Moscow, Russia IJP2014257 10.12691/ijp-2-5-7 2014 06 09 2014 06 20 2014 10 15 A mathematical model for analyzing both Love waves and horizontally polarized shear surface waves (SH-waves) propagating in stratified media with monoclinic symmetry is worked out. Analytic and numerical solutions for SH and Love waves obtained by applying the Modified Transfer Matrix (MTM) method and a special complex formalism, are presented. Displacement fields, specific energy, phase, ray, and group velocities, and dispersion curves for SH and Love waves are compared and analyzed. Plates with different types of boundary conditions imposed on the outer surfaces are considered. Behavior of the leakage Love waves and anomalous SH-waves is discussed.
