A Note on the Mode of Vibration in Layered Flat Topped Conical Hill Deccan Trap Type and the Stresses Generated in Each Layer Part I

Abstract

In this paper the authors have calculated the displacements and stresses at each layer of a n-layered flat-topped conical hill while the stresses of the type of a confined explosions are applied at the bottom of the hill. The solution is obtained in terms of Bessel's function and the condition of fracturing is also specified.
