An analytical solution of an axisymmetric problem of deforming an isotropic half-space with an elastic fixed boundary under the action of a distributed load

Аннотация

An analytical solution to the axisymmetric problem on the action of a distributed load on an isotropic half-space when the load is given by a function dependent on the radial coordinate is obtained. The surface of the half-space is elastically fixed outside the circular domain of load application, the shear stresses are absent along the entire boundary, and the stresses vanish at infinity. At the boundary and inside the elastic half-space, the solutions are represented by the formulas for the stress tensor components and for the displacement vector components.
