We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

If we have a point dynamic impulse (point load in a half space say) you will get P-S and Rayleigh waves.

See figure 1 a) here:

If you want to excite something else or do something different to the above explain more (context, goal,etc)

All the best

Erik
