Shear Horizontal Surface Acoustic Waves on Solids

The existence of shear horizontal surface acoustic waves (which play a fundamental role in many areas of mechanical engineering, surface physics, acoustoelectronics, seismology, and material science) is viewed as the result of a perturbation in boundary conditions -the latter being understood in the large- in order to bind otherwise essentially skimming bulk SH waves to the limiting surface. Various means to produce this perturbation are considered in this spirit. They include spatial inhomogeneities, additional interfaces, curvature, gratings, roughness, spatial dispersion, and couplings with electric and magnetic fields for different types of materials.
