Waves produced in an infinite elastic medium due to normal forces and twists on the surface of a burried spherical source

Summary In this paper, the waves propagated in an infinite medium has been considered by disturbances on the surface of a burried spherical source. The disturbances are produced by two types of forces viz. i) Transient normal force, ii) Transient twist applied on the surface of the source. The solutions are obtained in a very simple form. Graphical representations of some numerical solutions has been added at the end of each problem.
