✦ Synopsis
By virtue of a complete set of displacement potential functions and Hankel transform, the analytical expressions of Green's function of an exponentially graded elastic transversely isotropic half-space is presented. The given solution is analytically in exact agreement with the existing solution for a homogeneous transversely isotropic half-space. Employing a robust asymptotic decomposition technique, the Green's function is decomposed to the closed-form Green's function corresponding to the homogeneous transversely isotropic half-space and grading term with strong decaying integrands. This representation is very useful for numerical methods which are based on boundary-integral formulations such as boundary-element method since the numerically evaluated part is not responsible for the singularity. The high accuracy of the proposed numerical scheme is confirmed by some numerical examples.

This paper presents analytical Green's function solutions for an isotropic elastic half-space subject to antiplane shear deformation. The boundary of the half-space is modeled as a material surface, for which the Gurtin-Murdoch theory for surface elasticity is employed. By using Fourier cosine trans
