Longitudinal Shear of Anisotropic Elastic Half-space with an Elastic Flat Inclusion

抄録

The present paper deals with the longitudinal shear of an anisotropic elastic half-space with an elastic flat inclusion. The method of the replacement of flat inclusions by continuous distributions of concentrated forces is expanded to apply to the longitudinal shear problem of an anisotropic medium. The advantage of this method is that the singular integral equations can be derived systematically and the strength of the stress singularity at the tips of he elastic flat inclusion can be easily obtained. In order to clarify the influence of anisotropy, free surface, inclination of the inclusion and rigidity of the inclusion, on the strength of stress singularity at the tips of the inclusion, numerical calculations are performed and the results are shown in figures.
