Abstract: A method of potentials is presented for the derivation of the dynamic response of an elastic half-space to an arbitrary, time-harmonic, finite, buried source. The development includes a set of ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the torsion of a rigid disk bonded to the bottom of a cylindrical indentation on an elastic half-space. By virtue of Fourier sine and cosine transforms, the mixed ...

Abstract: The smeared-crack approach of strain-softening is a popular engineering concept for the numerical simulation of tensile failure processes in concrete and rock. Despite numerous publications on the equivalent constitutive ...
