Abstract

In this paper Somigliana's method has been utilized to solve the two-dimensional boundary value problems of elastic half-spaces. We have considered traction and displacement problem, shear problem, contact and crack problems and the solutions, thus derived, have been compared with those derived from dislocation considerations.
