Abstract
Propagation of waves in a homogeneous, transversely isotropic elastic material, rotating about its axis of symmetry, for the special case a5=0 is studied. In the basal plane two type of waves can propagate. For any other orientation of the polarization vector three type of waves can propagate. Propagation of longitudinal and transverse waves in the material is also studied. Rotational effect restricts the longitudinal wave to travel only along the axis of rotation. A transverse wave can also propagate perpendicular to the axis of rotation. There are also special directions along which transverse waves can exist.
