Description:
The stresses developed in a body due to a moving load causing fracture are an interesting problem of mechanics having its application toward the stability of a medium. This paper is concerned with the stresses developed in an irregular isotropic half-space due to a normal moving load at a rough free surface. The irregularity has been taken in the form of a parabola and a rectangular irregularity has also been discussed as a special case of parabolic irregularity. Closed-form expressions for the normal and shear stresses have been obtained. The effect of friction, irregularity factor, and maximum amplitude of irregularity has been discussed for both stresses.
