Generation of waves in an infinite micropolar elastic solid body under initial stress

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to investigate generation of waves in an infinite micropolar elastic medium under the influence both of initial stressp and body forces X. The equation of motion has been solved applying the Fourier-Hankel transform. The final results, the displacement, the stress, the rotation, and the couple stress components have been obtained in analytical form as integrals involving Bessel function of first kind and of zero order.
