The static deformation in a multilayered magneto-electro-elastic half-space under vertical inner loading is calculated using a vector function system approach and a stiffness matrix method. Firstly, the displacement, stress, and inner loading are expanded using the vector function system, and the N-type and L&M-type problems related to the expansion coefficient are constructed. Secondly, the stable stiffness matrix method is used to solve the expansion coefficients of the L&M-type problem. After introducing the boundary condition and the discontinuity of the stress caused by inner loading, the displacement and stress are calculated through adaptive Gaussian quadrature. Finally, the numerical examples considering the circular load and point load are designed and analyzed, respectively.

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.

The problem of a uniformly moving circular surface load of a general orientation on an elastic half space for two types of load distribution, viz., “uniform” and “hemispherical,” is considered. The solutions have been obtained in integral form. The displacements on the surface of the half space, in the case in which the load velocity V is smaller than the transverse wave velocity of the medium CT are expressed in a closed form as a sum of two terms by using properties of Gauss’ hypergeometric functions. One of these terms gives the static part of the solution, whereas the other term represents the velocity effect part. At distances greater than about five radii from the center of the moving circular load, a moving point load is found to be a good approximation.

In the present paper, the problem of two-dimensional static deformation of an isotropic elastic half-space of irregular thickness has been studied using the eigenvalue approach, following a Fourier transform. The irregularity is expressed by a rectangular shape. As an application, the normal line-load acting inside an irregular isotropic half-space has been considered. Further, the results for the displacements have been derived in the closed form. To examine the effect of irregularity, variations of the displacements with horizontal distance have been shown graphically for different values of irregularity size, and they are compared with those for the medium with uniform shape. It is found that irregularity affects the deformation significantly.
