The dynamic response of an elastic half-space with a cylindrical cavity in a circular cross-section is analyzed. The cavity is assumed to be infinitely long, lying parallel to the plane-free surface of the medium at a finite depth and subjected to a uniformly distributed harmonic pressure at the inner surface. The problem considered is one of plain strain, in which it is assumed that the geometry and material properties of the medium and the forcing function are constant along the axis of the cavity. The equations of motion are reduced to two wave equations in polar coordinates with the use of Helmholtz potentials. The method of wave function expansion is used to construct the displacement fields in terms of the potentials. The boundary conditions at the surface of the cavity are satisfied exactly, and they are satisfied approximately at the free surface of the half-space. Thus, the unknown coefficients in the expansions are obtained from the treatment of boundary conditions using a collocation least-square scheme. Numerical results, which are presented in the figures, show that the wave number (i.e., the frequency) and depth of the cavity significantly affect the displacement and stress.

AbstractThe problem of the propagation of time harmonic waves in an isotropic elastic half-space containing a submerged cylindrical cavity is solved analytically. Linear plane strain conditions are assumed. Using an expansion theorem proved in a previous paper (Gregory (3)), the elastic potentials are expanded in a series form which automatically satisfies the governing equations, the conditions of zero stress on the flat surface, and the radiation conditions at infinity. The conditions of prescribed normal and tangential stresses on the cavity walls are shown to lead to an infinite system of equations for the expansion coefficients. This system of equations is shown to be a regular L2-system of the second kind and from its unique l2-solution, the solution to the problem is constructed. The fundamental questions of existence and uniqueness are fully treated and methods are described for constructing the solution.Three applications of the general theory are presented dealing respectively with the production, amplification and reflexion of Rayleigh waves.

This paper deals with the axisymmetric contact problem for an elastic half-space with a cylindrical cavity when mixed boundary conditions are prescribed on the surface of the cavity. The problem is simplified to that of finding the solution of dual integral equations arising from the mixed boundary conditions. The solution is obtained by the series method, and quantities of physical interest are calculated.
