WAVES IN A MICROPOLAR CUBICALLY ANISOTROPIC MEDIUM

Expressions for the phase and radial velocities of propagation 
of three-dimensional fronts of quasilongitudinal and quasitransverse 
elastic waves in a micropolar cubically anisotropic medium have been 
obtained. An analysis of the influence of the micropolar elastic constant 
on the dependence of the wave velocities on the angle of inclination 
of the normal to the wave surface has been made.
