Abstract
We study a spherical wave propagating in the radial and latitude directions and oscillating in the longitude direction in the case of fibre-reinforced linearly elastic material. A function system solving Euler's equation of motion in this case and depending on certain Bessel and associated Legendre functions is derived.
