On the existence of transverse elastic acceleration waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
It is shown that, at an arbitrary point in a general elastic material and regardless of the prevailing state of deformation, there exists in every plane at least one direction in which a transverse acceleration wave may propagate. The possibility of a transverse wave actually being able to progress in such a specific direction depends upon the associated local wave speed being real and conditions are obtained under which this requirement is satisfied.
