An axisymmetric inclusion in one of two perfectly bonded dissimilar elastic half-spaces

摘要

This paper introduces an effective method for the solution of axisymmetric elastic inclusions in bonded dissimilar half spaces. The method leads to new concise expressions for the elastic fields in terms of only two scalar Papkovich potentialfunctions. A host of earlier solutions, which were obtained using a range of alternative techniques, involving surface stress relaxation and Hankel transforms, are shown to be subsumed in the present result.
