Hertz Problem

Two-dimensional elastic half-space contact theory suffers from the defect that the surface displacement with respect to infinity becomes infinitely large when the total force carried by the half space is different from zero. Several authors removed this defect by altering the geometry so that the depth of the elastic body becomes finite. In the present paper another approach is chosen by considering contact areas which are many times as long as they are wide, but which still are small as compared with a characteristic dimension of the body which is approximated by the half space. As one of the examples, the Hertz problem is considered, and the asymptotic results are compared with the exact theory. It is found that errors of 10–15 percent are found when the contact ellipse is twice as long as wide, and errors of 2–3 percent are encountered when the ratio of the axes is five.

Elastodynamics of a half-space coated by a thin soft layer with a clamped upper face is considered. The focus is on the analysis of localized waves that do not exist on a clamped homogeneous half-space. Non-traditional effective boundary conditions along the substrate surface incorporating the effect of the coating are derived using a long-wave high-frequency procedure. The derived conditions are implemented within the framework of the earlier developed specialized formulation for surface waves, resulting in a perturbation of the shortened equation of surface motion in the form of an integral or pseudo-differential operator. Non-uniform asymptotic formula for the speeds of the sought for Rayleigh-type waves, failing near zero frequency and the thickness resonances of a layer with both clamped faces, follow from the aforementioned perturbed equation. Asymptotic results are compared with the numerical solutions of the full dispersion relation for a clamped coated half-space. A similarity with Love-type waves proves to be useful for interpreting numerical data. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of dynamic phenomena and localization in structured media (part 1)’.

Abstract The body waves and surface waves radiating from a horizontal stress applied at the free surface of an elastic half space are obtained. The SV wave suffers a phase shift of π at 45 degrees from the vertical. Also, a surface wave that is SH in character but travels with the Rayleigh velocity is shown to exist. This surface wave attenuates as r−3/2. For a value of Poisson's ratio of 0.25 or 0.33, the amplitude of the Rayleigh waves from a horizontal source should be smaller than the amplitude of the Rayleigh waves from a vertical source. The ratio of vertical to horizontal amplitude for the Rayleigh waves from the horizontal source is the same as the corresponding ratio for the vertical source for all values of Poisson's ratio.

Exact Determination

abstract A procedure is given for the exact determination of the displacement produced in a half-space by arbitrary stresses acting on the surface. Solutions have been obtained for three different impulsive stress distributions acting on a circular portion of the surface and some common features of the solutions are examined. Numerical values of the surface displacement are exhibited graphically in the three cases showing that the pulses comprising the surface motion are oscillatory.

Rough Surface Contact

A method for solving the two-dimensional (2-D) isothermal rough surface contact problem of general anisotropic materials with friction is presented. By using Stroh’s formalism, the surface displacements of an elastic half-space due to uniform distributions of traction over a strip are derived from the surface Green’s function. The surface displacement and subsurface stresses of the anisotropic half-space due to the distributed contact pressure may then be calculated by superposition. The real contact area and the contact pressure are determined via an iteration scheme using the conjugate gradient method.

Thermoelasticity Theory

A solution of the normal displacement of the elastic half-space under an arbitrarily distributed fast-moving heat source of constant velocity within the two-dimensional quasi-static, uncoupled thermoelasticity theory is presented. The surface of the half-space is allowed to dissipate heat by convection. Moreover, an example associated with the problem of elastohydrodynamics is given.
