The primary purpose is to establish a generalized dispersion relation that unifies classical Love-wave theory with coupled-field effects and imperfect interface conditions. The methodology employs the complex function approach in conjunction with the Helmholtz equation and wavefield superposition theory. Interfacial imperfection factors are introduced via a spring-type boundary model, leading to an infinite system of equations. A systematic truncation procedure ensures convergence of the analytical solution, and numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the influence of imperfections, thickness ratio, and coupling coefficients on dispersion, attenuation, and coupling efficiency. Findings reveal that imperfections significantly suppress phase velocity, with electrical defects producing stronger effects than magnetic ones, while mechanical bonding imperfections accelerate attenuation. Combined imperfections exhibit a synergistic nonlinear influence, producing dispersion shifts more severe than the sum of individual effects. Comparisons between EMO and EMS boundary conditions highlight that stress-driven EMS interfaces are more sensitive to imperfections than displacement-driven EMO boundaries. Additionally, increasing the guiding layer thickness enhances wave confinement, raising phase velocity and partially mitigating defect influence. Validation is achieved by demonstrating that the model naturally reduces to the classical Love-wave solution in the absence of coupling and imperfections, showing excellent agreement with previously published results. The novelty of the work lies in providing the first comprehensive formulation that integrates piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, and imperfection effects within a unified Love-wave framework. Limitations include restriction to anti-plane shear (SH) motion and idealized isotropic elastic half-space substrates, which may be extended in future studies to anisotropic or viscoelastic media. Practical applications include non-destructive evaluation of layered composites, defect detection, fatigue life prediction, energy harvesting, and the design of piezoelectric/piezomagnetic sensors.
