Lamb’s problem: a brief history

Abstract: In this review note, a historical scientific investigation is presented for Lamb’s problem in the mathematical theory of elasticity. This problem first appeared in 1904 in the pioneering paper of Professor Sir Horace Lamb (Lamb, H. On the propagation of tremors over the surface of an elastic solid. Philos Trans R Soc Lon 1904; 203: 1–42). Of special interest here are the analytical studies of the three-dimensional version of Lamb’s problem, which consists of a semi-infinite, homogeneous, isotropic elastic soli… Show more

“…Great progress has been made in recent times in analyzing methods of solution, as, for example, in Refs. [11][12][13][14], where important new insights have been obtained on Lamb's problem for an elastic half-space. The method of solution consists in using Green functions for the elastic wave equation with combinations of Stokes solutions for double-couple elastic forces.…”

“…The elastic vibration problem caused by a surface or buried vibration source is the basis of the study of the dynamic interaction between structure and soil. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] It has important theoretical significance and engineering application value in the fields of seismic engineering, geotechnical engineering and geophysics, etc., and hence, is widely investigated. [11][12][13][14][15][16] In 1904, Lamb 17 solved the dynamic Boussinesq problem due to a surface source for an elastic medium.…”
