Abstract A new approach is proposed for obtaining the dynamic elastic response of a multilayered elastic solid caused by axisymmetric, time-harmonic elastic singularities. The method for obtaining the elastodynamic Green’s functions of the point force, double forces and center of dilatation is presented. For this purpose, the boundary conditions in an infinite solid at the plane passing through the singularity are derived first by using Helmholtz potentials. Then the Green’s function solution for layered solids is obtained by solving a set of simultaneous linear algebraic equations using the boundary conditions for both the singularities and for the layer interfaces. The application of the point force solution for the oscillating normal indentation problem is also given. The solution of the forced normal oscillation is formulated by integrating the point force Green’s function over the contact area with unknown surface traction. The dual integral equations of the unknown surface traction are established by considering the boundary conditions on the contact surface of the multilayered solid, which can be converted into a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind and solved numerically.

A complete solution is obtained for the wave field generated by the time-harmonic edgewise oscillations of a horizontal circular disk in an incompressible stratified viscous fluid. The linearized equations of viscous internal waves and the no-slip condition on the rigid disk are used to derive sets of dual integral equations for the fluid velocity and vorticity. The dual integral equations are solved by analytic reduction to sets of linear algebraic equations. Asymptotic results confirm that this edgewise motion no longer excites waves in the small-viscosity limit. Broadside oscillations and the effect of density diffusion are also considered.

We study numerically, with the aid of an IBM-370 computer, the Green's functions of a cavity afforded by the solutions of a new integral equation (B. T. Darling and J. A. Imbeau. Can. J. Phys. 56, 387 (1978)). A number of prolate spheroidal cavities whose eccentricities cover the complete range zero to one are employed, and the solutions are subject to the Dirichlet and von Neumann conditions at the surface. We use the Gauss–Legendre integration formula to replace the integral equation by a set of linear algebraic equations. The Green's function is evaluated by substituting the solution of this set in the formula of Helmholtz, using the same integration formula. Criteria for the optimization of this procedure also are developed and employed. The Green's function can be determined to high precision except in the immediate vicinity of the surface of the cavity where it suffers a well-known discontinuity. We also explore the use of the Helmholtz formula itself in the exterior region as an integral equation to obtain the Green's function of the cavity. We find that although the precision of the solution is much less than that afforded by the precedingly mentioned integral equation the precision is still within the range of practical application. All calculations used double precision arithmetic (16 significant digits on the IBM-370).

The time-harmonic elastodynamic half-space Green’s function derived by Banerjee and Mamoon by way of superposition is discussed and examined against another semianalytical solution and a numerical solution. It is shown that Banerjee and Mamoon’s solution gives infinitez-displacement response when the depth of the source goes to infinity, which is unreasonable and does not agree with other solutions. A possible problem in the derivation is that it is inappropriate to directly extend the results of Mindlin’s superposition method for the elastostatic half-space problem to the dynamic case. The superposition of the six full-space elastodynamic solutions does not satisfy the required boundary conditions of the half-space elastodynamic problem as in the static case and thus does not solve the dynamic half-space problem.

The aim of this work is to provide Green's function for the Schrodingerequation. The potential part in the Hamiltonian is piecewise continuous operator.It is a zero operator on a disk of radius "a" and a constant V0 outside this disk (intwo dimensions). We have used, to construct the Green's function, the technique ofthe integral equations. We have respected the boundary conditions of the problem.The discrete spectra of the Hamiltonian operator have been also derived.

AbstractLet G(x,s) be the Green's function for the boundary value problem y(n) = 0, Ty = 0, where Ty = 0 represents boundary conditions at two points. The signs of G(x,s) and certain of its partial derivatives with respect to x are determined for two classes of boundary value problems. The results are also carried over to analogous classes of boundary value problems for difference equations.
