Using the boundary element method, we have studied the dynamic displacements and stresses in an infinite elastic matrix with a spherical elastic inclusion, caused by the propagation of an elastic wave. The original problem has been reduced to a system of boundary integral equations for the contact displacements and tractions on the interface between the inclusion and matrix. Based on the numerical solution of these equations, we have analyzed the influence of the direction of wave propagation and frequency on the important physical parameters, depending on the elastic characteristics of composite constituents.
