Abstract

The laws of propagation of elastic waves in crystals follow from the general equations of motion derived in section 3 for an elastically deformed medium . Here the force of gravity may be neglected, so we may use (3.10)

  • A relation is covariant if both parts are in a form from which it is obvious that they change identically in response to coordinate transformation.

  • Musgrave [13] has used the form of (19.28) to construct a general theory of elastic waves in crystals, but this is inapplicable even to a crystal as important as quartz.

  • Of course, (19.22) and (19.25) are now not obeyed, since the coordinate axes have been chosen in another way.
