+This directory contains a wave propagation example problem. We create
+a shear dislocation in a rectangular, elastic bar 8 km long with a
+square cross-section 400 m on a side. In 2-D the we use a mid-surface
+cross-section and plane strain conditions. The shear dislocation (the
+vertices are fixed in the longitudinal and other shear direction)
+generates a shear wave that propagates down the bar. Absorbing
+boundary conditions on each end perfectly absorb the shear wave.
+
+The problem can be run by entering
+
+  pylith shearwave.cfg
+
+in any of the subdirectories.
