ABSTRACT
The forced vibration of an elliptical indenter on an elastic half plane in frictionless contact is considered for both normal and horizontal vibration. The resultant dual integral equations are recast in a suitable form after separating out the static solution. An analytical solution of the dual integral equation is solved in a low frequency case on expanding the integrand in powers series expansion, and at mid-frequency range by Jacobi’s polynomial expansion using method of solution given in Chapter 2. Detailed numerical computations for the dynamic compliance for both low frequency and mid-frequency range are given.
