The propagation of transient waves in a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic half space excited by a traveling normal point load is investigated. The load is suddenly applied and then it moves rectilinearly at a constant speed along the free surface. The displacements are derived for the interior of the half space and for all load speeds. Wave-front expansions are obtained from the exact solution, in addition to results pertaining to the steady-state displacement field. The limit case of zero load speed is considered, yielding new results for Lamb’s point load problem.

A symmetric factorization of the velocity-dependent charge-exchange kernel (the so-called separable-kernel model) is used in the Boltzmann equation for neutral atoms to obtain an exact solution for a half-space plasma by the Wiener-Hopf method. This work generalizes earlier work employing constant, velocity-independent charge-exchange interactions to the case of an arbitrary velocity dependence of the Maxwellian averaged charge-exchange reaction rate. The effects of velocity dependence on the speed-angle distribution of escaping neutrals and the total charge-exchange rate in the half-space are shown to be significant. It is also shown how the Wiener-Hopf method can be applied to such problems with a realistic Maxwellian plasma background, without first approximating the ion distribution.

The exact solution is given for a line load acting on a half space of a power-law elastic material under conditions of plane stress. This solution is compared with the corresponding solution under plane-strain conditions; see Aruliunian [1]. A marked difference is found between the plane-stress and plane-strain fields for different values of the hardening exponent.

A simple model for vertical dynamic interactions among a group of strip footings rested on half-space is presented in this paper. An analytical method is presented to obtain the contact pressures and the impedance matrix for a group of surface strip footings. In order to conveniently solve the unknown contact pressures between the soil and footings, the soil-footing interfaces are discretized into a series of strip elements. The Green function for each element under uniform harmonic force is derived and calculated by the piecewise integration and Cauchy principal value integral. The influences of footing and soil parameters on contact pressures and vertical dynamic impedances of footing groups are discussed in detail. The SSSI effect between adjacent footings increases with the decrease of the distance ratio S/L. For three footings in a group, the middle footing experiences greater cross-interactional effect than the side ones. The present method has high accuracy, which is not only simple but also suitable for the high-frequency analysis.
