Synopsis

This paper formulates a general solution, within the scope of classical elastostatic theory, for the problem of layered systems subjected to asymmetric surface shears. As an illustrative example the solution for the problem of an elastic layer supported on an elastic half-space is presented for the particular loading consisting of a surface shearing force uniformly distributed over a circular area. Numerical results are included indicating some displacement and stress components of interest.
