Summary

This note develops a method for the solution of the elastokinetic boundary value problem for time dependent surface tractions and/or displacements, as well as body forces which are functions of time and space. The method of Williams is extended to resolve three-dimensional problems of elastodynamics by classical mathematical techniques.
