Abstract

Objective: To study the stresses due to strip load in a monoclinic elastic plate placed over an irregular monoclinic elastic half space. Method: Antiplane strain problem with different interfacing boundary conditions namely “perfectly welded interfacing, smooth-rigid interfacing, rough-rigid interfacing” has been considered and Fourier Transformation is used on the equilibrium equations to obtain the solutions. Findings: The displacements and stressesare obtained for each boundary condition and the variation of shearing stresses with horizontal distance are studied due to different size of rectangular shaped irregularity at any point of the medium consisting of monoclinic elastic plate placed upon an irregular monoclinic elastic half space. The comparison between the stresses for different types of interfacing has been made graphically. Novelty: The static deformation of two or more connected elastic mediums with irregularities due to surface loads has been studied earlier but just a few have showed graphic representation of stresses with irregularity in different sizes. Keeping in mind the shortcomings of earlier work done, the present paper visualizes shearing stresses in both theoretical and graphical manners completely.

Keywords: Monoclinic; strip loading; anti plane strain; rectangular irregularity
