Abstract
The equations of particle motion in an elastic isotropic stressed medium are first derived in Cartesian coordinates and then transformed into cylindrical coordinates. The three components of the equations of motion are non-linear partial differential equations and cannot be of use in practical applications. However, noting that the particle displacement is composed of a small dynamic part superimposed on a large static part, these equations are linearized via a simple perturbation method. The linearized equations are presented in closed form. They contain variables, which may be measured and experimented upon in practice, in the field of acoustoelasticity.
