Crăciun, Ion Al. Propagation of stress waves in elastic solids. (English) Zbl 1187.74020 Acta Univ. Apulensis, Math. Inform. 15, 69-103 (2008). Summary: The propagation of waves in elastic media under dynamic loads (“stress waves”) are investigated. The nature of the deformation, stress, stress-strain relations, and the equation of motion are some objectives of the investigation. General decompositions of elastic waves are studied. Two planar waves in an infinite isotropic elastic medium, and then time-harmonic solutions of the wave equations are analyzed. Spherically symmetric waves in three-dimensional space from a point source, radially symmetric waves in a solid infinite cylinder of radius \(a\), and waves propagated over the surface of an elastic body are studied. Finally, particular solutions of the Navier equations are given.
