Abstract We investigate the spatial behaviour of the steady state and transient elastic processes in an anisotropic elastic body subject to nonzero boundary conditions only on a plane end. For the transient elastic processes, it is shown that at distance x 3 〉ct from the loaded end, (c is a positive computable constant and t is the time), all the activity in the body vanishes. For x 3 〈ct, an appropriate measure of the elastic process decays with the distance from the loaded end, the decay rate of end effects being controlled by the factor % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaaKazaaiacaGGOaGccaaIXaGaaeiiaiabgkHiTiaabccadaWcaaqa% amXvP5wqonvsaeHbfv3ySLgzaGqbciab-Hha4naaBaaaleaacaqGZa% aabeaaaOqaaiaabogacaqG0baaaKazaakacaGGPaaaaa!4BB0!\[(1{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}\frac{{x_{\text{3}} }}{{{\text{ct}}}})\]. Next, it is shown that for isotropic materials, in the case of a steady state vibration, an analogue of the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle holds for an appropriate cross-sectional measure. One immediate consequence is that in the class of steady state vibrations for which a quasi-energy volume measure is bounded, this measure decays at least algebraically with the distance from the loaded end.
