✦ Synopsis

The propagation of waves in inhomogeneous elastic media with spherical or cylindrical symmetry, when the curved surface of the solid is given a uniform normal loading -the stress and displacement components within the solid then may be assumed to depend on one space coordinate and time alone -, is considered. The particular case in which the elastic parameters are proportional to (radius)n is considered as a special case.
