Abstract

This work presents analytical Green's functions for the steady state response of a homogeneous three-dimensional free solid layer formation (slab) subjected to a spatially sinusoidal harmonic line load, polarized along the horizontal, vertical and z directions. The equations presented here are not only themselves very interesting but are also useful for formulating three-dimensional elastodynamic problems in a slab-type formation, using integral transform methods and/or boundary elements. The final expressions are validated by comparing them with the results obtained by using the Boundary Element Method solution, for which both free surfaces of the slab are discretized with boundary elements.
