Abstract
Recently Buchwald has devised a method of finding the slowness surface and wave surface in an anisotropic medium due to a source of disturbance in it. Soil differs from isotropic elastic solids by the fact that for soilE/G>2(1+σ). Following the method of Buchwald we have worked out the form of the slowness and wave surface for different values ofE/G, and it has been shown that for sandy soil cuspidal edges are formed on the wave surface at an angle near 45° with the direction of thex-axis.
