The propagation of compressive and shear waves through a homogeneous, isotropic, and infinite three-dimensional viscoelastic body is presented through the time evolution of spatial distribution of displacement field, obtained by solving the system of fractional partial differential equations, consisting of the equation of motion of a three-dimensional solid body, the infinitesimal strain tensor, and the fractionally generalized Hooke’s law for a three-dimensional isotropic and elastic body as a constitutive equation, for initial conditions prescribed through the Gaussian function, so that the compressive and shear components of displacement field are expressed as the action of the resolvent tensor on the initial conditions. The graphical representation of displacement field’s compressive and shear component time evolution shows that during a certain time after the excitation there are no qualitative differences between wave propagation through an elastic and a viscoelastic body, regardless whether the wave propagation speed is infinite or finite, while as time increases, differences are firstly observed between elastic and viscoelastic waves, and subsequently between viscoelastic waves with infinite and finite wave propagation speed. The graphical representation of time evolution of spatial profiles of Green’s function, representing a crucial term in the resolvent tensor and containing information about the mechanical characteristics of the material, is revisited due to the applied approach of Fourier and Laplace transform inversions’ order.
