The problem of a half-space subjected to a periodic strip load has been analyzed and it is shown that the vertical displacement of the top surface, in the center of the strip can be obtained using the plane theory of elasticity provided the strip width is equal to or greater than the periodicity. A

โฆ Synopsis
The deformation of an elastic layer bonded to a rigid half-space and subjected to bands of pressure spaced periodically along a strip is treated. It is shown that there exists a critical periodicity of the band spacing for which the displacement of the top surface, midway between the bands, is a maximum. It is concluded that this periodicity varies with the thickness of the slab, the Poisson's ratio of the material, and the band width. Numerical calculations are presented to show the effect of these parameters. ยง 1. Introduction

This study presents the dynamic behaviour of a rigid block which rests on a footing supported by a spring and a dashpot on a rigid base. The response of the rigid body is examined carefully when the base is excited by a harmonic force. It is found that a periodic motion appears in three different mo
The thermomechanical responses of a porous elastic medium subjected to time harmonic loads (normal force and thermal source) are investigated analytically in the context of generalised thermoelastic theory with one relaxation time. The material of the foundation, obeying Biot's dynamic poroelastic t
