Abstract

The dynamic Green's function due to an impulse in an infinite anisotropic medium under anti-plane deformation is derived by the method of Smirnov [1] for two-dimensional wave equation. The Green's function is inversely proportional to the time t and an effective dynamic shear modulus. It is shown that the tractions on the planes passing through the source point vanish identically. Based on the free-space Green's function, the Green's functions for wedges, semi-infinite media and strips are obtained.
