Abstract: A perturbing body force, in the form of an impulsive point source, is suddenly introduced into an anisotropic elastic body. The anisotropic solid is characterized by two parameters. After placing suitable restrictions on these parameters, integral representations of the transient displacement components are found. Explicit expressions for the displacements are obtained along two perpendicular lines which are centered at the point of application of the point impulse and parallel to the coordinate axes. Wave front singularities are identified and graphical results for the wave shapes are presented.
