This paper deals with the three-dimensional analysis of the near-resonant regimes of a point load, moving steadily along the surface of a coated elastic half-space. The approach developed relies on a specialized hyperbolic–elliptic formulation for the wave field, established earlier by the authors. Straightforward integral solutions of the two-dimensional perturbed wave equation describing wave propagation along the surface are derived along with their far-field asymptotic expansions obtained using the uniform stationary phase method. Both sub-Rayleigh and super-Rayleigh cases are studied. It is shown that the singularities arising at the contour of the Mach cones typical of the super-Rayleigh case, are smoothed due to the dispersive effect of the coating.

The problem treated is that of an infinite free plate excited symmetrically by two equal and normally opposed step point-loads on its faces. The problem is equivalent to that of the surface normal point-load excitation of an infinite elastic layer, half the thickness of the plate, overlying a rigid half-space with lubricated contact. The formal solution is obtained from the equations of motion in linear elasticity with the aid of a double integral transform technique and residue theory. The stationary phase method, and known characteristics of the governing Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation, are used to analyze and evaluate numerically the far field displacements. It is shown that the head of the disturbance is composed predominantly of the low-frequency long waves from the lowest mode of wave transmission.

Rayleigh Wave Speed

The displacement field on the surface of an elastic half space (Poisson ratio = 1/4), caused by the motion of a decelerating point surface load, is investigated by means of the dynamic Betti-Rayleigh reciprocal theorem. The load is applied impulsively and made to move rectilinearly at constant deceleration along the surface. The load speed varies from superseismic to a value less than the Rayleigh wave speed. The results show that significant differences exist between displacements obtained in this problem and those resulting from the usual assumption of constant load speed. The differences are primarily due to the presence of Mach cones which appear at superseismic load speeds and remain ahead of the initial wave fronts even after the speed becomes subseismic.

Wave Disturbances

Three-dimensional wave propagation in an elastic half space is considered. The half space is traction free on half its boundary, while the remaining part of the boundary is free of shear traction and is constrained against normal displacement by a smooth, rigid barrier. A time-harmonic surface wave, traveling on the traction free part of the surface, is obliquely incident on the edge of the barrier. The amplitude and the phase of the resulting reflected surface wave are determined by means of Laplace transform methods and the Wiener-Hopf technique. Wave propagation in an elastic half space in contact with two rigid, smooth barriers is then considered. The barriers are arranged so that a strip on the surface of uniform width is traction free, which forms a wave guide for surface waves. Results of the surface wave reflection problem are then used to geometrically construct dispersion relations for the propagation of unattenuated guided surface waves in the guiding structure. The rate of decay of body wave disturbances, localized near the edges of the guide, is discussed.

Transient Waves

The propagation of transient waves in a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic half space excited by a traveling normal point load is investigated. The load is suddenly applied and then it moves rectilinearly at a constant speed along the free surface. The displacements are derived for the interior of the half space and for all load speeds. Wave-front expansions are obtained from the exact solution, in addition to results pertaining to the steady-state displacement field. The limit case of zero load speed is considered, yielding new results for Lamb’s point load problem.

Contact Failure

The three-dimensional problem of contact between a spherical indenter and a multi-layered structure bonded to an elastic half-space is investigated. The layers and half-space are assumed to be composed of transversely isotropic materials. By the use of Hankel transforms, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to an integral equation, which is solved numerically to determine the contact stresses and contact region. The interior displacement and stress fields in both the layer and half-space can be calculated from the inverse Hankel transform used with the solved contact stresses prescribed over the contact region. The stress components, which may be related to the contact failure of coatings, are discussed for various coating thicknesses.

Thermoelastic Stress Field

Computing the thermoelastic stress field of a material subjected to frictional heating is essential for component failure prevention and life prediction. However, the analysis for three-dimensional thermoelastic stress field for tribological problems is not well developed. Furthermore, the pressure distribution due to rough surface contact is irregular; hence the frictional heating can hardly be described by an analytical expression. This paper presents a novel set of frequency-domain expressions (frequency response functions) of the thermoelastic stress field of a uniformly moving three-dimensional elastic half-space subjected to arbitrary transient frictional heating, where the velocity of the half-space, its magnitude and direction, can be an arbitrary function of time. General formulas are expressed in the form of time integrals, and important expressions for constant velocities are given for the transient-instantaneous, transient-continuous, and steady-state cases. The thermoelastic stress field inside a translating half-space with constant velocities are illustrated and discussed by using the discrete convolution and fast Fourier transform method when a parabolic type or an irregularly distributed heat source is applied.

This paper develops the transition matrix formalism for scattering from an three-dimensional alluvium on an elastic half-space. Betti’s third identity is employed to establish orthogonality conditions among basis functions that are Lamb’s singular wave functions. The total displacements and associated tractions exterior and interior to the surface are expanded in a Rayleigh series. The boundary conditions are applied and the T-matrix is derived. A linear transformation is utilized to construct a set of orthogonal basis functions. The transformed T-matrix is related to the scattering matrix and it is shown that the scattering matrix is symmetric and unitary and that the T-matrix is symmetric. Typical numerical results obtained by incident plane waves for verification are presented.

Interior Points

The classical three-dimensional Lamb’s problem is considered for an inclined surface point load of Heaviside time dependence. Attention is focused upon the acquisition of the transient elastodynamic analytical solutions for interior points through a unified method of analysis that is valid for arbitrary Lamé constants. The method of elastodynamic potentials is employed jointly with integral transforms to treat the corresponding initial boundary value problem. To derive the time-domain solutions, some integral equations are encountered, the solutions of which are found via a modified version of the Cagniard–Pekeris method. The final solutions are obtained as finite integrals that are amenable to numerical calculations. They are also expressed in the form of Green’s functions. The limit case of infinite time is investigated analytically to derive the closed-form expressions for the limits of the solutions as the temporal variable tends to infinity. As expected, the results are found to be equivalent to Boussinesq–Cerruti solutions in elastostatics. The elastodynamic solutions are also evaluated numerically to plot several time-history diagrams, depicting the transient motions of the interior points, especially of the points close to the boundary so as to illustrate the formation of forced Rayleigh waves at shallow depths within the elastic half-space.
