Abstract:
The nonstationary Lamb problem for an elastic half-space with Poisson’s ratio taking a limiting value of $1/2$ is considered. In the axially symmetric case, the solution is represented in the form of a repeated improper integral. The inner integral over the vertical line in the complex plane is reduced to a sum of residues and a sum of several integrals of a real variable. An estimate of the solution is obtained for large values of the polar radius.
