Question:

Explicitly show that Boussinesq’s problem as illustrated in Fig. 13.2 is solved by the superposition of a Galerkin vector and Lame´’s potential given by relation (13.3.13). Verify that the Cartesian displacements and stresses are given by:

U= 0x = Tyz = Px Z 4R R P 3xz 2TR R P 3yz 2TR R 3Pz 2TR$ 3Pyz 2RS 12v R+Z Txy V = - (12v) (1-2v) 3Pxz 2TR Z
