Abstract

Wave-front singularities for the displacement functions, associated with the radiation of linear elastic waves from a point source embedded in a finitely strained two-dimensional elastic solid, are examined in detail. It is found that generally the singularities are of order d–½ where d measures distance away from the front. However, in certain exceptional cases singularities of order d–-n where n = ¼, ⅔, ¾, may be encountered.
