S-wave


S-waves, secondary waves, or shear waves (sometimes called an elastic S-wave) are a type of elastic wave, and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves.
The S-wave moves as a shear or transverse wave, so motion is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. The wave moves through elastic media, and the main restoring force comes from shear effects. These waves do not diverge, and they obey the continuity equation for incompressible media:
:\nabla \cdot \mathbf = 0
Its name, S for secondary, comes from the fact that it is the second direct arrival on an earthquake seismogram, after the compressional primary wave, or P-wave, because S-waves travel slower in rock. Unlike the P-wave, the S-wave cannot travel through the molten outer core of the Earth, and this causes a shadow zone for S-waves opposite to where they originate. They can still appear in the solid inner core: when a P-wave strikes the boundary of molten and solid cores, S-waves will then propagate in the solid medium. And when the S-waves hit the boundary again they will in turn create P-waves. This property allows seismologists to determine the nature of the inner core.
As transverse waves, S-waves exhibit properties, such as polarization and birefringence, much like other transverse waves. S-waves polarized in the horizontal plane are classified as SH-waves. If polarized in the vertical plane, they are classified as SV-waves. When an S- or P-wave strikes an interface at an angle other than 90 degrees, a phenomenon known as mode conversion occurs. As described above, if the interface is between a solid and liquid, S becomes P or vice versa. However, even if the interface is between two solid media, mode conversion results. If a P-wave strikes an interface, four propagation modes may result: reflected and transmitted P and reflected and transmitted SV. Similarly, if an SV-wave strikes an interface, the same four modes occur in different proportions. The exact amplitudes of all these waves are described by the Zoeppritz equations, which in turn are solutions to the wave equation.
==Theory==
The prediction of S-waves came out of theory in the 1800s. Starting with the stress-strain relationship for an isotropic solid in Einstein notation:
:\tau_=\lambda\delta_e_+2\mu e_
where \tau is the stress, \lambda and \mu are the Lamé parameters (with \mu as the shear modulus), \delta_ is the Kronecker delta, and the strain tensor is defined
:e_ = \frac\left( \partial_i u_j + \partial_j u_i \right)
for strain displacement u. Plugging the latter into the former yields:
:\tau_ = \lambda\delta_\partial_ku_k + \mu \left( \partial_i u_j + \partial_j u_i \right)
Newton's 2nd law in this situation gives the ''homogeneous equation of motion'' for seismic wave propagation:
:\rho\frac = \partial_j\tau_
where \rho is the mass density. Plugging in the above stress tensor gives:
:\begin
\rho\frac
&= \partial_i\lambda\partial_k u_k + \partial_j\mu\left(\partial_i u_j + \partial_j u_i \right) \\
&= \lambda\partial_i\partial_k u_k + \mu\partial_i\partial_j u_j + \mu\partial_j\partial_j u_i
\end
Applying vector identities and making certain approximations gives the seismic wave equation in homogeneous media:
:\rho \ddot) - \mu\nabla \times (\nabla \times \boldsymbol)
where Newton's notation has been used for the time derivative. Taking the curl of this equation and applying vector identities eventually gives:
:\nabla^2(\nabla\times\boldsymbol) - \frac\frac\left(\nabla\times\boldsymbol\right) = 0
which is simply the wave equation applied to the curl of u with a velocity \beta satisfying
:\beta^2 = \frac
This describes S-wave propagation. Taking the divergence of seismic wave equation in homogeneous media, instead of the curl, yields an equation describing P-wave propagation.
The steady-state SH waves are defined by the Helmholtz equation
: (\nabla^2+k^2 )\boldsymbol=0
where k is the wave number.
