Investigation of SH wave scattering by inclusions in bi-material half space is an important issue in engineering. The purpose of this work is to study the dynamic response of a semi-circle inclusion embedded in bi-material half space surface by SH wave. Graf's addition theorem, Green function method and region-matching technique are used to determine the displacement fields in the bi-material half space and the inclusion. The distributions of dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) around the semi-circle inclusion are depicted graphically considering different material parameters. The results show that the frequency and the incidence angle of SH wave, the rigidities of the inclusion and bi-material half space, and the distance from the inclusion to the interface have a great effect on the distribution of DSCF around the inclusion.
