The paper examines the problem of the in-plane loading of a rigid disk inclusion which is embedded in bonded contact with an isotropic elastic half-space region. The governing coupled integral equations, derived via a Hankel transform technique, are evaluated numerically to generate results for the in-plane stiffness of the rigid disk inclusion and the rotation which accompanies the lateral translation.

Contact Failure

The three-dimensional problem of contact between a spherical indenter and a multi-layered structure bonded to an elastic half-space is investigated. The layers and half-space are assumed to be composed of transversely isotropic materials. By the use of Hankel transforms, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to an integral equation, which is solved numerically to determine the contact stresses and contact region. The interior displacement and stress fields in both the layer and half-space can be calculated from the inverse Hankel transform used with the solved contact stresses prescribed over the contact region. The stress components, which may be related to the contact failure of coatings, are discussed for various coating thicknesses.

The investigation is concerned with some of the effects of embedded flaws in an elastic half space subjected to torsional deformations. Specifically two types of flaws are considered: (a) a penny-shaped rigid inclusion, and (b) a penny-shaped crack. In each case the problem is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations. Graphical displays of the numerical results are included.

Thermoelastic Response

Thermoelastic response due to a line heat source is analog to poroelastic reaction caused by a fluid line sink. In this study, the strata are modeled as a thermoelastic or poroelastic half space bounded by horizontal surface in the mathematical model. Thermomechanics and poromechanics are applied on the formulation of basic governing equations, and an analogy is drawn to show the similarity. Using Hankel transform technique and approaching symbolic integral through Mathematica, the closed-form solutions of the horizontal and vertical displacements due to a fluid line sink are obtained. The displacements produced by the line heat source are described through analog quantities between thermoelasticity and poroelasticity. The solutions can be applied to dewater operations and build waste repository.

Planar Crack

In this work a three-dimensional planar crack on the surface of elastic half-space was analyzed under rolling contact load. The stresses interior to an elastic half-space body under rolling contact load and those produced by an infinitesimal displacement jump loop for the elastic half-space body were used to reduce the planar crack problem to the solution of a system of two-dimensional hypersingular integral equations with unknown displacement jump. The ideas of finite element discretization were employed to construct numerical solution schemes for solving the integral equations. An appropriate treatment of the associated hypersingular integral in the numerical solution to the integral equations was proposed in Hadamard's finite-part integral sense. The numerical results showed that the present procedure yields solutions with high accuracies. The stress intensity factors near the crack front edge under rolling contact load were indicated in graphical form with varying the crack shape, the radius of rolling contact zone and the friction coefficients, respectively. In addition, the influence of the lubricant infiltrating the crack surfaces on the crack propagation was also discussed in the paper.

The Mathematical Model

The study derives the closed-form solutions of the long-term elastic consolidation subjected to the fluid line sink in a homogeneous isotropic elastic half space aquifer. The Hankel transform in a cylindrical coordinate system is employed to develop the analytical elastic solutions. Derivations of governing equations are based on the mathematical model of Biots theory of poro-mechanics, and the half space aquifer is modelled as a saturated porous stratum which is bounded by a horizontal surface. The total stresses of the aquifer obey Newtons second law and Hookes law. Besides, the mass conservation and Darcys law are introduced to formulate the governing equations of pore fluid flow. The software Mathematica is used to complete the symbolic integrations and obtain the closed-form solutions. The solutions can be applied in dewatering operations of compressible aquifer.

The problem of determining the singularity at the apex of a rigid wedge bonded to an elastic half space is formulated by considerations of Green’s functions for the loaded half space. The eigenvalue problem is reduced to finding the solution of a coupled pair of singular integral equations. A numerical solution for small wedge angles is given.

Inertia Properties

The diffraction of harmonic waves by a movable rigid strip bonded to the surface of an elastic half space is divided into two more fundamental problems, the diffraction of waves by a fixed strip and the forced motion of an inertialess strip. These problems are formulated in terms of a pair of coupled Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. An approximate solution for the resultant loads acting on the strip is obtained using the Bubnov-Galerkin method. These loads provide a simple means of studying the excited motion of a movable strip having a variety of inertia properties.

Perfect Bonding

A study is made of the axially symmetric torsion of a rigid cylinder partially embedded into a layered elastic half space. The problem is formulated on the basis of perfect bonding between the cylinder and the surrounding material. Integral representations are used to reduce the problem to the solution of two integral equations. Stress singularities of fractional order are obtained along the perimeter of the base of the cylinder. A numerical solution of the integral equations is used to obtain the torque-twist relationship for different embedment depths and for different values of the elastic constants.
