Abstract

This investigation deals with the response of the semi-infinite, linear elastic, homogeneous, isotropic plate in plane strain, subject to symmetric normal loads acting, in the absence of shear stress, on its edge. A double Laplace transform technique is used to obtain long-time information for two problems; a uniform load and a line-load. Near- and far-field approximations are found, the far-field approximations giving the integral of the Airy integral for both problems.
