Stresses due to moving load on the surface of an irregular magneto-elastic monoclinic half-space under hydrostatic initial stress

ABSTRACT

The present article investigates the characteristic of moving load and effect of irregularity, hydrostatic stress, and magneto-elastic coupling parameter on the stresses developed due to moving load on the surface of an irregular magneto-elastic monoclinic half-space subjected to the friction associated with a rough surface. Boundary conditions are listed for which corresponding analyses can be performed analogously. The expressions for stresses are obtained analytically. Numerical computation of the obtained results are carried out for three different materials with monoclinic symmetry (lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, and quartz); the significant effects of affecting parameters on these relations are distinctly marked by means of graphs.
