The dispersion problem of Love waves is investigated in the functionally graded half-space covered with an isotropic homogeneous layer. In the functionally graded half-space
the governing equation of antiplane shear wave is solved
the analytical solutions of displacement and stress are obtained
and the corresponding general form of Love waves dispersion equation is deduced. Two cases of functionally graded materials with exponentially and parabolically varying shearing modulus and mass density along the depth are evaluated
and the dispersion curves are presented. It is found that the cut-off frequency arises in the dispersion curve of the lowest order vibration modal.
