DISTURBANCE DUE TO MECHANICAL SOURCES IN MICROPOLAR ELASTIC MEDIUM WITH VOIDS

The dynamic response of a homogeneous isotropic micropolar half-space with voids subjected to a set of normal point sources is investigated. The integral transforms have been inverted by using a numerical technique to obtain the normal force stress, normal displacement, tangential force stress, tangential couple stress and volume fraction field in the physical domain for the two different sources. The results of these quantities for a magnesium crystal-like material are given and illustrated.
