    A B S T R A C TAn explicit expression is derive d for the bod y force to be applied in th e absence of a dislocation,which produces radia t ion ident ical to th at of the dislocation. This eq uivalent force dependson ly upon the source and the e la s ti c p roper t i e s o f the med ium in the imm edia te v ic in i ty o f thesource and no t up on the prox im ity of any ref lect ing surfaces . The the ory is developed for d is-locat ions in an an isotropic inhomogeneous m edium; in the examples iso tropy is assumed. Fo rdisplacemen t dis locat ion faul ts , th e double couple is an exa ct equivalen t bod y force .
