Axisymmetric Lamb's problem in a semi-infinite micropolar viscoelastic medium
Summary: A study is made of the axisymmetric problem of wave propagation under the influence of gravity in a micropolar viscoelastic semi-infinite medium when a time-varying axisymmetric load is applied on the surface of the medium. Special attention is given to the effect of gravity which induces a kind of initial stresses of a hydrostatic nature.
