Abstract
The theory of the motion of the surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid due to an impulsive internal point source is developed, both for P-wave and S-wave point sources. The resulting motions have been computed numerically for the case λ = μ and are presented both in tabular form and graphically.Keywords
