[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00015.] The object of this paper is a special boundary-initial value problem of elastodynamics. The elastic homogeneous isotropic half plane which is given by the specification \(\{ (x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^ 2; y\geq 0\}\) is loaded by the distributed forces \((X(t,x), Y(t,x))\) on its boundary \(y=0\) and \(x\in\mathbb{R}\). The boundary load may be a generalized function. For \(t<0\) \(X(t,x)=Y(t,x)=0\) and the half plane is motionless. The fundamental solution when the boundary load \[ X(t,x)=C_ x\delta (t)\delta (x),\;Y(t,x)=C_ y\delta (t)\delta (x)\tag{1} \] is given for the displacement in a closed form as a distribution. In (1) \(C_ x, C_ y\) are constants, \(\delta\) is the Dirac's distribution. To solve the problem the Laplace- D'Alembert transformation and the theory of elastic waves are applied.
