Abstract
The disturbances produced in a semi-infinite visco-elastic medium and in a layer of visco-elastic material resting on a rigid foundation by transient torsional body forces have been considered. Formal solutions have been obtained for a general type of body force, and this solution has been used to obtain the displacements for a transient torsional point source in the case of a semiinfinite medium, and for a cylindrical source of finite dimensions and a line source in the case of the layer of visco-elastic material mentioned above. Solutions have also been obtained for a transient shearing stress applied at the free surface of the layer mentioned above.
