A finite transverse shock wave propagates through an unbounded medium consisting of two joined incompressible elastic half-spaces of different material properties, in the direction normal to the plane interface. A semi-inverse method is used to examine the reflection-transmission of this wave at the interface. It is found that, depending on the material properties, the reflected wave is either a simple wave or a shock; the transmitted wave is always a shock.
