Abstract

Functions, which permit us to determine stresses and displacements at an arbitrary point in infinite anisotropic elastic medium due to different three- dimensional (3D) stress or displacement discontinuities that are distributed on flat infinite band-type boundary elements, are presented. In case of transversely isotropic medium the formulae represent the closed form of the solutions for arbitrary oriented boundary elements. The analytical functions can be used in the Indirect Boundary Element Method (IBEM) and the Displacement Discontinuity Method (DDM) computer codes to solve the generalized plane strain problems with 3D boundary conditions, and elastic homogeneous medium with arbitrary anisotropy may be considered. 1 Introduction One of the main ste
