Abstract: Previous work on stochastic models of stress distributions in granular half-spaces is extended to include the presence of horizontal as well as vertical surface forces. The resulting model is that of a standard stochastic ...

Abstract: The stochastic model of stress distributions in loaded granular half‐spaces is extended to describe strains and displacements by postulating a linear constitutive equation with position‐dependent moduli, which is consistent ...

Abstract: The problem of a smooth rigid indentor under variable loading moving across a viscoelastic half-space in one direction with variable speed is considered. The motion is assumed to be frictionless ...

Abstract: The problem of several indentors moving on a viscoelastic half-plane is considered in the noninertial approximation. The solution of this mixed boundary value problem is formulated in terms of ...
