Abstract

By using the Fourier transform technique the solution is given for the elastodynamic problem resulting from the application of arbitrary dynamical tractions over the surface of a spherical cavity in an infinite, isotropic, elastic solid. Various special cases are studied. Computations are carried out and plotted in the case of blast loading.
