Three-Dimensional Nonlinearly Varying Rectangular Loads on a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space

Abstract

In engineering situations, loads applied to the four corners of a rectangle might have different values and might not be uniformly or linearly distributed. A configuration of linearly or nonlinearly varying loads with different contact pressures at each corner can be represented as a superposition of various loading types. The loading types include uniform, linearly varying in the
