Abstract
Chapters 8 and 9 give the basic theory of the theory of elasticity for static and dynamic problems. Chapter 8 also gives the solution for some of the more difficult problems, involving mixed boundary value conditions. The corresponding dynamic problems still await solution, at least in analytic form. Chapter 9 presents the basics of dynamic problems in elastic continua, including the general properties of the most important types of waves: compression waves, shear waves, Rayleigh waves and Love waves, which appear in other chapters.
