Dynamical problems on longitudinal shear of a half-space with nonhomogeneities

Abstract

Problems on diffraction of shear waves at cavities and rigid inclusions in a half-space with a fixed boundary and in one with a boundary which is free from forces are considered. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation in the case of rigid inclusion in a half-space and to a Fredholm equation of the second kind in the case of a cavity.
