Deformation in Orthotropic Elastic Media under the Effect of Triangular Irregularity

Abstract

Closed-form analytical expressions for displacements have been obtained using Eigen value approach and Fourier transform method in orthotropic media, considering the triangular irregularity in one medium. To study the effect of irregularity, two orthotropic materials-Olivine and Topaz have been used. The variation in displacements with respect to horizontal distance has been analyzed by considering the irregularities of different size.
