โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we investigate the axisymmetric harmonic torsional vibrations of a rigid spherical inclusion, embedded centrally in an elastic stratum of finite thickness. For an infinite solid the problem has a simple closed form solution. Here the stratum problem is formulated as a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind, and a perturbation method employed to solve this equation approximately for large values of the ratio of s~here radius to stratum depth. Approximations are given for quantities of physical interest such as the stress distribution at the inclusion-elastic medium interface, and the stress couple on the sphere.
RI~SUMI~
Dans cette ~tude on recherche les vibrations axisymm6triques harmoniques et torsionales d'une inclusion sph~rique et raide, situ~e centralement dans une touche d'une ~paisseur born6e. Pour un solide infini le problame a une solution 616mentaire.
On formule le probl~me de couche comme une ~quation int6grale de Fredholm de la premiere sorte. On se sert d'une m6thode de perturbation pour r~soudre cette &tuation d'une fa~on approximative pour les grandes vateurs de la proportion du rayon de la sphere contre la profondeur de la touche. Les approximations sont calcul~es pour la distribution d'effort employee sur l'inclusion et pour la couple de torsion employee sur la sphere.

It is established that oscillations in the low-frequency range are characteristic for a body with a heavyrigid spike-shaped inclusion, and corresponding modes mainly occur as flexural deformations of the tip of the spike, localized close to its vertex.
