General nonlocal solution of the elastic half space loaded by a concentrated force P perpendicular to the boundary

Artan R

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to develop the results introduced in Artan (1996) and to find a general nonlocal linear elastic solution for Boussinesq problem. The general nonlocal solution given Artan (1996) is valid only when the distance to the boundary is greater than one atomic measure. The nonlocal stress field presented in this paper is valid for the whole half plane.

Key Words
