Abstract

The paper is to solve the problem of the response of stratified half-space subjected to triangularly distributed time-harmonic loadings on an axial symmetric area in the stratified half-space. Since the distributed area can be very small, the solution can be employed to deal with the problems of elastodynamics using the fundamental solution method. The advantage of the presented solution over Green function is that no singularity will occur in the presented solution. Some numerical results are given and some conclusions have been made. The presented solution is very efficient in computation.
