ON THE SPEED OF PROPAGATION OF WAVES IN A DEFORMED ELASTIC MATERIAL

The secular equation is obtained for small amplitude waves propagated in an arbitrary direction in a body of incompressible isotropic elastic material subjected to a pure homogeneous deformation. Conditions are obtained that the wave speeds be real.
