This paper deals with the problem of the determing of the stress and the displacement of an elastic half space with a rigid spherical inclusion. It is assumed that the half space is subjected to a concentrated normal force at a point on the plane surface of the half space. A method of solution is presented for the problem by using the Green's functions for axisymmetric body force problems of an elastic half space. The problem is formulated by an integral equation with unknown functions of the intensities of distributed body forces. Stresses and displacements around the inclusion of the half space are shown by numerical calculations.
