Dynamic contact problems for an orthotropic elastic half-plane and a composite plane (Q1185634)

The equivalence properties of certain boundary-value problems are studied for ortho- and isotropic elastic domains in stationary subsonic dynamics and statics. By using these properties, solutions obtained earlier in explicit form for dynamic contact problems for an isotropic half-plane with four, and a composite half-plane with six kinds of boundary conditions are extended to the case of an orthotropic material whose characteristic equation has pure imaginary roots.
