Abstract:The solution of the elastic field for inclusions in an elastic half space has been applied widely in many contact analyses and engineering designs. A popular method to solve the half-space inclusion problem resorts to the method of images, where the solution is decomposed into 3 components consisting of the full space inclusion, mirrored inclusion, and the surface traction cancellation. In the process of cancelling the redundant surface tractions determined from a full space inclusion problem, the computation … Show more
