  2. Love wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_wave

    Augustus Edward Hough Love predicted the existence of Love waves mathematically in 1911. They form a distinct class, different from other types of seismic waves, such as P-waves and S-waves (both body waves), or Rayleigh waves (another type of surface wave). Love waves travel with a lower velocity than P- or S- waves, but faster than Rayleigh ...

  3. Rayleigh wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_wave

    Rayleigh waves are distinct from other types of surface or guided acoustic waves such as Love waves or Lamb waves, both being types of guided waves supported by a layer, or longitudinal and shear waves, that travel in the bulk. Rayleigh waves have a speed slightly less than shear waves by a factor dependent on the elastic constants of the ...

  4. Surface wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave

    Love waves have transverse motion (movement is perpendicular to the direction of travel, like light waves), whereas Rayleigh waves have both longitudinal (movement parallel to the direction of travel, like sound waves) and transverse motion. Seismic waves are studied by seismologists and measured by a seismograph or seismometer.

  5. Seismic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_wave

    a P wave in the outer core L: a Love wave sometimes called LT-Wave (Both caps, while an Lt is different) n: a wave that travels along the boundary between the crust and mantle P: a P wave in the mantle p: a P wave ascending to the surface from the focus R: a Rayleigh wave S: an S wave in the mantle s: an S wave ascending to the surface from the ...

    2. Particle movement perpendicular to wave movement. Rayleigh wave: Surface: 1. Include both longitudinal & transverse motions. 2. Amplitude decreases exponentially with increasing distance from surface. Love wave: Surface: 1. Wave speed lower than P-wave & S-wave, but higher than Rayleigh wave. 2. Horizonal particle movement perpendicular to ...

  7. Surface wave inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave_inversion

    Since Rayleigh waves are composed of P and S-waves and Love waves are composed of only S waves, Haskell derived the elastic wave equations for both P and S-waves. These equations were modified to show Rayleigh wave motion. After assuming a free surface boundary where no stresses or strains cross, the Rayleigh wave equation is simplified.

    The study surveyed hundreds of participants online about how they experienced 27 different types of love, such as romantic love, sexual love, parental love, and love for friends, strangers, nature ...

  9. Seismic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_noise

    In some cases, multiple arrays of different sizes may be realized and the results merged. The information of the Vertical components is only linked to the Rayleigh waves, and therefore easier to interpret, but method using the all three ground motion components are also developed, providing information about Rayleigh and Love wavefield.
