Torsional and SH surface waves in an isotropic and homogenous elastic half-space characterized by the Toupin-Mindlin gradient theory

P. A. Gourgiotis, H. G. Georgiadis

The existence of torsional and SH surface waves in a half-space of a homogeneous and isotropic material is shown to be possible in the context of the complete Toupin-Mindlin theory…
