In the idealized parallel plate model, the amplitude of the shear wave is the same, everywhere (A). If the amplitude of shear varies across the surface (B), a compressive stress and a tensile stress result at the two surfaces of the plate. These will bend the plate (C). Bending will also occur on the overtones, but to a lesser extent (D).
