Couple Stress in a Semi Infinite Medium under the Action of a Dynamic Pressure on the Boundary

Abstract

Effect of couple-stresses on elastic stress distribution has been investigated in a semi-infinite medium under the action of a dynamic pressure on the boundary. As a particular example this pressure has been assumed to be a pulse of pressure moving uniformly along the boundary. It is found that the effect of couple-stress on shear stresses is predominant on the boundary surface
