Summary
As an important application of the theory of elasticity in soil mechanics, the main principles of elastodynamics are introduced. On the basis of waves in 1D-continua the notions of transmission, reflexion and dynamic stiffness are explained, and the body waves are presented as compression and shear waves. Rayleigh waves are presented as an example of surface waves.
