a shear wave is a wave that moves perpendicular throuth the earth in the form of an earthquake
Shear vane is a tool used to measure the shear strength of soil.
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
The velocity of a wave which maintains consatnt phase at all successive positions during propogation is known as wave velocity or phase velocity. The velocity of a group of waves which maintains constant poditions during the propogation is known as group velocity.
shear waves: move side to side, only move through solids, are also called secondary waves, are slower than compressional waves, travel perpendicular to the medium compressional waves: move straight in one direction, can move through solid, liquid and gas, are also called primary waves, are faster, travel parallel to the medium
The velocity of pressure and shear waves through a solid is dependent on the elastic properties and density of the material through which the wave is travelling.The pressure wave velocity (VP) can be found using the following:VP = Sqrt((K+ (4/3 x G)) /P)Where:K = Bulk modulusG = Shear modulusP = DensityThe shear wave velocity is given by the following:VS = Sqrt (G/P)Where:VS = Shear wave velocityG = Shear modulusP = Density

A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.

longitudinal velocity of aluminum is .25 shear velocity is .12
You may be surprised to read that there is no one value for speed of sound in steel that covers all cases. Sound can propagate as a bulk shear or shake wave, as a compression longitudinal wave, and as an extension wave in thin rods. This speed also varies with the alloy in question. Here are a couple of table entries for steel which list in column 1 the relative density; column 2, the shear wave velocity in bulk material, column 3 the longitudinal wave velocity, and finally col 4, the extension wave velocity in slender rods. Speeds are given in meters per second. Relative density may be taken as grams per cc.Steel, mild 7.85 3235 5960 5200 Steel, 347 Stainless 7.9 3100 5790 5000
The speed the wave is traveling through space
The particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave is downward.
Shear modulus of soil is measured in pressure units, typically Pascals (Pa) or KiloPascals (KPa).
