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.
