Shear waves and closely related interface waves (Rayleigh, Stoneley
and Scholte) play an important role in many areas of engineering,
geophysics and underwater acoustics. In some cases interest is
focused on large-amplitude waves of low frequency such as those
associ ated with earthquakes and nuclear explosions; in other cases
low amplitude waves, which have often travelled great distances
through the sediment, are of interest. Both low and high frequency
shear and interface waves are often used for seafloor probing and
sediment characterization. As a result of the wide spectrum of
different interests, different disciplines have developed lines of
research and a literature particularly suited to their own
problems. For example water-column acousticians view the seafloor
sediment as the lower boundary of their domain and are interested
in shear and interface waves in the near bottom sediments mainly
from the standpoint of how they influence absorption and reflection
at this boundary. On the other hand, geophysicists seeking deep oil
deposits are interested in the maximum penetration into the
sediments and the tell-tale characteristics of the seismic waves
that have encountered potential oil or gas bearing strata. In
another area, geotechnical engineers use shear and interface waves
to study soil properties necessary for the design and the siting of
seafloor structures.
