Abstract

Two-dimensional elastic waves in a half-space 0 ≤ r < ∞, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π are examined under the assumption of dynamic similarity, so that the stresses depend only on r/t, θ. Analytic solutions are given for constant surface traction on θ = 0, 0 < r/t < V, where V is constant, the rest of the surface being unloaded, and for a concentrated load at r = 0.

Numerical results are quoted for the particular case V → ∞, corresponding to a load on half the bounding plane.
