A systematic study of the stress distribution in an infinite elastic solid when time dependent and time independent body forces act on certain regions of the solid is made by Eason, Fulton and Sneddon(l). They have stated the importance of studying problems concerning moving point charges in electrodynamics. Mukhopadhyay(2) has discussed the disturbance created by the propagation of torsional disturbance in an infinite elastic solid due to time dependent rotating body forces.
