Abstract
A closed form solution to the second order elasticity problem, when an isotropic compressible elastic half-space undergoes a deformation owing to a non-uniformly distributed normal load, is presented. The method of integral transform is employed and the case when loading is distributed, in accordance with Hertz's law, is discussed. The limiting solution for incompressible isotropic elastic material is also derived. Numerical calculations for the second order elastic material for the displacement and the normal stress in thez-direction are carried out. It is found that, in comparision to the linear elastic case, the displacement increases and the normal stress decreases in the second order elastic material
Sommario
Si presenta una soluzione del secondo ordine in forma chiusa del problema di un semi-spazio elastico isotropo compressibile soggetto a un carico normale distribuito non uniformemente, ottenuta mediante il metodo delle trasformate integrali. Si discute il caso del carico distribuito secondo la legge di Hertz; si deriva anche la soluzione limite per materiale elastico isotropo incompressibile. Si ottengono numericamente alcuni risultati relativi a spostamenti e tensioni normali nella direzione z: si trova che, a paragone del caso elastico lineare, gli spostamenti aumentano e le tensioni diminuiscono nel materiale elastico del secondo ordine.
