Effect of Line Loading on An Irregular Elastic Medium Possessing Cubic Symmetry

Abstract

In the present paper, the closed form analytical expressions due to an inclined line-load in an irregular elastic medium with cubic symmetry have been obtained. The irregularities are considered in the shape of rectangular and parabolic. Numerically, the effect of irregularities have been studied by variation of displacements with the horizontal distance by considering different sizes of irregularities (e) of parabolic and rectangular. At different values of 'e' the comparisons are made at different values of angle of inclinations.
