Asymptotic study of elastic half-plane with embedded punch
A contact problem for an elastic half-plane and an embedded rigid punch is studied. The employed mathematical model describes the behavior of a soil with embedded foundation. The analytical solution governing the stress field behaviour is derived. Singular perturbation and complex analysis techniques are used.
Keywords: mixed boundary value problem; singular asymptotics; complex variable theory
