Abstract: A mathematical model for analysis of Love waves propagating in stratified anisotropic (monoclinic) media is presented; this model is based on a newly developed Modified Transfer Matrix (MTM) method. Closed form dispersed relations are obtained for media consisting of one or two orthotropic layers lying on orthotropic substrate. Conditions for existence of Love waves are analyzed. Horizontally polarized shear surface waves of non-Love type are constructed. A numerical algorithm is worked out for obtaining dispersion relations for Love waves propagating in stratified media containing a large number of layers.
