Fundamental Solutions in Elastodynamics

This work is a compilation of fundamental solutions (Green's functions) for classical or canonical problems in elastodynamics presented with a common format and notation. These formulas describe the displacements and stresses elicited by dynamic sources in solid elastic media like full spaces, half-spaces, strata and plates in both two and three dimensions, using the three major coordinate systems, and also for transient and harmonic motions. Formulas in the book were programmed and tested within the MATLAB environment. The program listings are available for free download on the book web site.
