Abstract

Two Orthotropic half-spaces (M-I and M-II) are in welded contact, where M-I has a layer of thickness H. At layer, there is a horizontal discontinuity which intersects with one of the axes. Horizontal discontinuity is due to a torque source and it passes through the point (H, 0, 0). By using Fourier Transform Method, we obtained displacement components for both the half-spaces and observed that the displacement is same throughout M-I. Numerically obtained results are depicted graphically to show that the half-space having discontinuity is more deformed as compared to other half-space. Effect of anisotropy is also studied and observed that orthotropic medium is more deformed as compared to isotropic medium.
