The paper presents solutions of two contact problems for the annular plate die on an elastic half-space under the action of axisymmetrically applied force and moment. Such problems usually arise in the calculation of rigid foundations with the sole of the annular shape in chimneys, cooling towers, water towers and other high-rise buildings on the wind load and the load from its own weight. Both problems are formulated in the form of triple integral equations, which are reduced to one integral equation by the method of substitution. In the case of the axisymmetric problem, the kernel of the integral equation depends on the product of three Bessel functions. Using the formula to represent two Bessel functions in the form of a double row on the works of hypergeometric functions Bessel function, the problem reduces to a functional equation that connects the movement of the stamp with the unknown coefficients of the distribution of contact stresses. The resulting functional equation is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, which is solved by truncation. Under the action of a moment on the annular plate  die, the distribution of contact stresses is searched as a series by the products of the Legendre attached functions with a weight corresponding to the features in the contact stresses at the die edges. Using the spectral G. Ya. Popov ratio for the ring plate, the problem is again reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, which is also solved by the truncation method. Two examples of calculations for an annular plate die on an elastic half-space on the action of axisymmetrically applied force and moment are given. A comparison of the results of calculations on the proposed approach with the results for the round stamp and for the annular  stamp with the solutions of other authors is made.

This paper is concerned with the study of transient response of a transversely isotropic elastic half-space under internal loadings and displacement discontinuities. Governing equations corresponding to two-dimensional and three-dimensional transient wave propagation problems are solved by using Laplace–Fourier integral transforms and Laplace−Hankel integral transforms, respectively. Explicit general solutions for displacements and stresses are presented. Thereafter boundary-value problems corresponding to internal transient loadings and transient displacement discontinuities are solved for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems. Explicit analytical solutions for displacements and stresses corresponding to internal loadings and displacement discontinuities are presented. Solutions corresponding to arbitrary loadings and displacement discontinuities can be obtained through the application of standard analytical procedures such as integration and Fourier expansion to the fundamental solutions presented in this article. It is shown that the transient response of a medium can be accurately computed by using a combination of numerical quadrature and a numerical Laplace inversion technique for the evaluation of integrals appearing in the analytical solutions. Comparisons with existing transient solutions for isotropic materials are presented to confirm the accuracy of the present solutions. Selected numerical results for displacements and stresses due to a buried circular patch load are presented to portray some features of the response of a transversely isotropic elastic half-space. The fundamental solutions presented in this paper can be used in the analysis of a variety of transient problems encountered in disciplines such as seismology, earthquake engineering, etc. In addition these fundamental solutions appear as the kernel functions in the boundary integral equation method and in the displacement discontinuity method.

The accuracy of the finite difference technique in solving frictionless and frictional advancing contact problems is investigated by solving the problem of a rigid punch on an elastic halfspace subjected to normal loading. Stick and slip conditions between the elastic and the rigid materials are added to an existing numerical algorithm which was previously used for solving frictionless and frictional stationary and receding contact problems. The numerical additions are first tested by applying them in the solution of receding and stationary contact problems and comparing them to known solutions. The receding contact problem is that of an elastic slab on a rigid half-plane; the stationary contact problem is that of a flat rigid punch on an elastic half-space. In both cases the influence of friction is examined. The results are compared to those of other investigations with very good agreement observed. Once more it is verified that for both receding and stationary contact, load steps are not required for obtaining a solution if the loads are applied monotonically, whether or not there is friction. Next, an advancing contact problem of a round rigid punch on an elastic half-space subjected to normal loading, with and without the influence of friction is investigated. The results for frictionless advancing contact, which are obtained without load steps, are compared to analytical results, namely the Hertz problem; excellent agreement is observed. When friction is present, load steps and iterations for determining the contact area within each load step, are required. Hence, the existing code, in which only iterations to determine the contact zone were employed, was modified to include load steps, together with the above mentioned iterations for each load step. The effect of friction on the stress distribution and contact length is studied. It is found that when stick conditions appear in the contact zone, an increase in the friction coefficient results in an increase in the stick zone size within the contact zone. These results agree well with semianalytical results of another investigation, illustrating the accuracy and capabilities of the finite difference technique for advancing contact.
