The displacement field for the Boussinesq problem was given by (13.4.20). For this case, construct a displacement vector distribution plot, similar to the two-dimensional case shown in Fig. 8.22. For convenience, choose the coefficient P/4πμ = 1 and take v = 0.3. Compare the two- and three-dimensional results.
