Abstract. The problem of two-dimensional static deformation of a monoclinicelastic medium has been studied using the eigenvalue method, following a Fouriertransform. We have obtained expressions for displacements and stresses for themedium in the transformed domain. As an application of the above theory, the par-ticular case of a normal line-load acting inside an orthotropic elastic half-space hasbeen considered in detail and closed form expressions for the displacements andstresses are obtained. Further, the results for the displacements for a transverselyisotropic as well as for an isotropic medium have also been derived in the closedform. The use of matrix notation is straightforward and avoids unwieldy mathe-matical expressions. To examine the effect of anisotropy, variations of dimension-less displacements for an orthotropic, transversely isotropic and isotropic elasticmedium have been compared numerically and it is found that anisotropy affectsthe deformation significantly.
Keywords. Static deformation; anisotropic; orthotropic; monoclinic elasticmedium.
1. Introduction
Maruyama (1966) obtained closed-form expressions for the displacement and stress fields ina homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space as a result of line-source. Dziewonski & Anderson(1981) have established that the upper part of the earth is anisotropic. Laminated compositeanisotropic materials find a large number of engineering applications. Generalization of thesolution to include anisotropy is, however, very difficult. For a transversely isotropic medium,some other relevant contribution are those of Small & Booker (1984) and Pan (1989).
Chou (1976) and Ting (1995) discussed antiplane strain deformation of an anisotropicmedium. Garg et al (1996) obtained representations of seismic sources causing antiplanestrain deformations of orthotropic media. The corresponding plane strain deformation of an

orthotropic elastic medium has been discussed by Garg et al (2003) using an eigenvalueapproach. Orthotropic symmetry is exhibited by olivine and orthopyroxens, the principal rockforming minerals of the deep crust and upper mantle.
In the present paper, a novel analytical eigenvalue method is presented for a monoclinicsolid. Fourier transformation of the equations of equilibrium for plane strain deformation of amonoclinic solid reduces them into a single linear homogeneous vector differential equation ofsecond order, on which an eigenvalue method is applied to obtain a solution in the transformeddomain. The form of the single governing equation for a monoclinic solid derived in this paperis a new contribution to the theory of monoclinic solids. The procedure developed in this paperis relatively simple and straightforward, avoids the cumbersome nature of the problem andis also convenient for numerical computation. As particular cases, normal line-loads actinginside orthotropic, transversely isotropic and perfectly isotropic elastic half-spaces have beenconsidered in detail. The deformation at any point of the medium is useful to analyse thedeformation field around mining tremors and drilling into the crust of the earth. It may alsofind application in various engineering problems, crystal physics and solid-earth geophysicsregarding deformation of an anisotropic solid. In fact, the study of a single force acting on amonoclinic solid forms the basis for further investigations such as dipolar sources and faultsin an anisotropic solid.
2. Basic equations and theory
The equations of equilibrium in the cartesian co-ordinate system (x1, x2, x3) for zero bodyforces are
τij,j = 0, (1)
where τij (i, j = 1, 2, 3) are the components of the stress tensor.The stress–strain relations for a monoclinic elastic medium, with x1x2-plane as a plane of
elastic symmetry are
τ11 = d11e11 + d12e22 + d13e33 + 2d16e12, (2)
τ22 = d12e11 + d22e22 + d23e33 + 2d26e12, (3)
τ33 = d13e11 + d23e22 + d33e33 + 2d36e12, (4)
τ23 = 2d44e23 + 2d45e13, (5)
τ13 = 2d45e23 + 2d55e13, (6)
τ12 = d16e11 + d26e22 + d36e33 + 2d66e12, (7)
where eij are the components of strain tensor and are related to displacement components(u1, u2, u3) through the relations
eij = 1/2(ui,j + uj,i). (8)
The two-suffix symmetric quantities dlk(l, k = 1, 2, . . . , 6) are the elastic moduli for amonoclinic elastic medium. For an orthotropic solid with coordinate planes coinciding withthe planes of symmetry, we have
d16 = d26 = d36 = d45 = 0, (9)
Deformation of an anisotropic medium 567
and the number of independent elastic coefficients reduce to nine. A transversely isotropicmedium is a particular case of orthotropy in which
d22 = d11, d23 = d13, d55 = d44, d66 = 1/2(d11 − d12), (10)
and there are five independent elastic coefficients. Further, isotropy is also a particular caseof an orthotropy in which
d11 = d22 = d33 = λ + 2µ,
d12 = d13 = d23 = λ,
d44 = d55 = d66 = µ, (11)
where λ and µ are Lame’ constants. For convenience, we shall write
(x1, x2, x3) = (x, y, z) and (u1, u2, u3) = (u, v, w).
We now consider the plane-strain deformation, parallel to the xy-plane, in which the dis-placement components are independent of z and are of the type
u = u(x, y), v = v(x, y), w = 0. (12)
The non-zero stresses for the plane-strain problem for a monoclinic medium are obtainedfrom (2)–(8), (10) and (12), as
τ11 = d11∂u
∂x+ d12
∂ v
∂y+ d16
(∂u

τ22 = d12∂u

τ12 = d16∂u

The equations of equilibrium, for a plane-strain deformation (parallel to the xy-plane) of amonoclinic elastic medium are[

We define the following dimensionless quantities,
α = x
h, β = y
h, U = u
h, V = v
h, σ11 = τ11
d66, σ12 = τ12
d66, σ22 = τ22
d66,
a = d11
d66, b = d22
d66, c = d12
d66, d = d26
d66, e = d16
d66, (19)
where ‘h’ is a known fixed quantity and has the dimensions of length. Thus, the equations ofequilibrium (17) and (18), in dimensionless form become[

]= 0. (21)
In (20) and (21), α is the dimensionless vertical distance, β is the dimensionless horizontaldistance, U is the dimensionless vertical displacement, V is the dimensionless horizontaldisplacement, σ11, σ12, σ22 are the dimensionless stress components, and a, b, c, d, e aredimensionless elastic coefficients.
For an isotropic solid,
a = b = 1/(1 − α∗), c = (1 − 2α∗)/(α∗ − 1) = a − 2, d = 0, e = 0, (22)
where
α∗ = (λ + µ)/(λ + 2µ), (23)
in particular, for a Poissonian isotropic solid (λ = µ), and α∗ = 2/3.We define the Fourier transform f (α, k) of a function f (α, β) by the relation
f (α, k) = F [f (α, β)] =∫ +∞
−∞f (α, β)eιkβdβ, (24)
so that
f (α, β) = (1/2π)
∫ ∞
−∞f (α, k)e−ιkβdk, (25)
where k is the Fourier transform parameter.Applying the Fourier transformation on equations of equilibrium (20) and (21), we find[

The above two equations can be written as the following single homogeneous vector dif-ferential equation:
A◦ d2N0
dα2+ B◦ dN0
dα+ C◦N0 = 0, (28)
Deformation of an anisotropic medium 569
where
A◦ =[a e

−ιk(1 + c) −2ιkd
],
C◦ =[
−k2 −k2d
−k2d −bk2
], N0 =
[U
V
]. (29)
We note that matrices A◦, B◦ and C◦ are all symmetric, matrix A◦ depends upon dimensionlesselastic moduli while the matrices B◦ and C◦ depend upon parameter k also. The governingequation (28) for a monoclinic solid is a new contribution and eigenvalue method shall beapplied to solve the problem. For this, we seek a solution of vector differential equation (28)of the type
N0(α, k) = E(k)esα, (30)
where s is a parameter and E(k) is a matrix of the type 2 × 1. Substitution of the value of N0
from (30) into vector differential equation (28) gives the following characteristic equation:
a0s4 + 4a1s
3 + 6a2s2 + 4a3s + a4 = 0, (31)
where
a0 = a − e2, a1 = −ι (ad − ce)k/2,
a2 = −(ab − c2 − 2c + 2ed)k2
6,
a3 = 2ι(cd − be)k3
4, a4 = (b − d2)k4. (32)
To solve biquadratic equation (31), we make use of Descartes’ method, in which the secondterm is removed by using the transformation
z∗ = a0s + a1, (33)
so that (31) reduces to
(z∗)4 + 6H(z∗)2 + 4Gz∗ + (a20I − 3H 2) = 0, (34)
where
H = a0a2 − a21, G = a2
0a3 − 3a0a1a2 + 2a31,
I = a0a4 − 4a1a3 + 3a22 . (35)
Following Descartes’ method, the left hand side of (34) can be resolved into a product of twoquadratic factors as
(z∗)4 + 6H(z∗)2 + 4Gz∗ + (a20I − 3H 2)
= [(z∗)2 + p0z∗ + q][(z∗)2 − p0z
∗ + q′], (36)
570 Kuldip Singh et al
where
q + q′ = p20 + 6H, qq′ = a2
0I − 3H 2, (37)
p0(q′ − q) = 4G. (38)
when p0 = 0, the values of q and q′ are determined from (37) directly, otherwise, eliminatingq and q′ from (37) and (38), we get
ξ 3 + 3b1ξ2 + 3b2ξ + b3 = 0, (39)
where
ξ = p20, b1 = 4H,
b2 = 4(12H 2 − a20I )/3, b3 = −16G2. (40)
Equation (39) is a cubic in ξ and hence, can be solved using Cardan’s method and thus (39)is reduced to
δ3 + 3H1δ + G1 = 0, (41)
where
δ = ξ + b1, H1 = b2 − b21, G1 = b3 − 3b1b2 + 2b3
1. (42)
The roots of the cubic equation (41) are
δ = u0 + v0, (43)
where u0 and v0 are given by
u30 =
−G1 +√
G21 + 4H 3
1
2, v3
0 =−G1 −
√G2
1 + 4H 31
2, (44)
satisfying u0v0 = −H1. Then p0 is given by
p20 = δ − b1, (45)
and q and q′ are then to be calculated from (37), (38) and (45). Equation (36) gives
z∗1 = −p0 + (p2
0 − 4q)1/2
2, z∗
2 = −p0 − (p20 − 4q)1/2
2,
z∗3 = p0 + (p2
0 − 4q ′)1/2
2, z∗
4 = p0 − (p20 − 4q ′)1/2
2, (46)
as the roots of the biquadratic equation (34). Hence, the eigenvalues of the problem ares1, s2, s3, s4, where
sL = z∗L − a1
a0, for L = 1, 2, 3, 4. (47)
Deformation of an anisotropic medium 571
The eigenvectors for a monoclinic elastic medium are obtained by solving the matrix equation
[s2A◦ + sB◦ + C◦]E(k) = 0, (48)
and the eigenvectors are found to be
XTL = [P1L, 1], for L = 1, 2, 3, 4, (49)
where
P1L = −[es2L − ιksL(1 + c) − k2d]
as2L − 2ιkesL − k2
= −[s2L − 2ιkdsL − bk2]
es2L − ιksL(1 + c) − k2d
(50)
and (. . . )T denote the transpose of the matrix (. . . ). Thus, a general solution of the vector-matrix differential equation (28) for a monoclinic elastic medium for non-repeated eigenvaluesis of the form
N0(α, k) =4∑
L=1
(BLXLesLα), (51)
where coefficients B1, B2, B3 and B4 are to be determined from prescribed boundary condi-tions. These coefficients may depend upon k. Equation (51) gives the following expressionsfor the dimensionless displacements in the transformed domain.
U (α, k) = B1P11es1α + B2P12e
s2α + B3P13es3α + B4P14e
s4α,
V (α, k) = B1es1α + B2e
s2α + B3es3α + B4e
s4α. (52)
Further, the expressions for dimensionless stresses for a plane strain deformation for a mon-oclinic solid are found to be
σ11 = [Q11B1es1α + Q12B2e
s2α + Q13B3es3α + Q14B4e
s4α],
σ12 = [R11B1es1α + R12B2e
s2α + R13B3es3α + R14B4e
s4α], (53)
where
Q1L = aP1LsL − ιkc − ιkeP1L + sLe,
R1L = eP1LsL − ιkd − ιkP1L + sL for L = 1, 2, 3, 4. (54)
3. Particular cases
3.1 Orthotropic symmetry
In this case
d = 0, e = 0, a1 = 0, a3 = 0, (55)
and vector differential equation and characteristics equation for an orthotropic medium areobtained from (28), (29), (31), (32) and (55). We find
Ad2N

572 Kuldip Singh et al
in which A, B, C are
A =(

−ιk(1 + c) 0
),
C =(
−k2 0
0 −bk2
), N =
(U
V
), (57)
and
as4 − (ab − c2 − 2c)k2s2 + bk4 = 0. (58)
The characteristic equation (58) is a quadratic equation in s2 and can be solved directlywithout using Descartes’ method and gives the eigenvalues as
s2 = m21k
2, m22k
2, (59)
where
m21 = A0 + (A2
0 − 4B0)1/2
2, m2
2 = A0 − (A20 − 4B0)
1/2
2,
A0 = (ab − c2 − 2c)/a = m21 + m2
2, B0 = b/a = m21m
22. (60)
Under the assumption that m1 �= m2, the eigenvalues are
s1 = m1|k|, s2 = m2|k|,s3 = −m1|k|, s4 = −m2|k|, (61)
with real parts of (m1, m2) as positive.The eigenvectors for an orthotropic elastic medium are given by
XTL = [P2L, 1], XT
L+2 = [−P2L, 1], (62)
for L = 1, 2, in which
P21 = ιm1|k|k
(1 + c

P22 = ιm2|k|k
(1 + c

Thus, a solution of matrix equation (56) for the case of an orthotropic elastic medium is
N(α, k) =2∑
L=1
[(CLXLemL|k|α + CL+2XL+2e−mL|k|α], (64)
where the coefficients C1, C2, C3 and C4 are to be determined from boundary conditions andthey may depend upon k.

The transformed dimensionless displacements for an orthotropic elastic medium are
U (α, k) = C1P21em1|k|α + C2P22e
m2|k|α − C3P21e−m1|k|α − C4P22e
−m2|k|α,
V (α, k) = C1em1|k|α + C2e
m2|k|α + C3e−m1|k|α + C4e
−m2|k|α, (65)
and stresses in the transformed domain are
σ11(α, k) = Q21C1em1|k|α + Q22C2e
m2|k|α + Q21C3e−m1|k|α + Q22C4e
−m2|k|α,
σ12(α, k) = R21C1em1|k|α + R22C2e
m2|k|α − R21C3e−m1|k|α − R22C4e
−m2|k|α,
(66)
where
Q2L = aP2LmL|k| − ιck,
R2L = mL|k| − ιP2Lk, for L = 1, 2. (67)
3.2 Transversely isotropic symmetry
This case is a particular case of monoclinic symmetry as well as orthotropic symmetry andhere the dimensionless elastic constants are
a = b = 2
(d11
d11 − d12
), c = 2
(d12
d11 − d12
)= a − 2, d = e = 0. (68)
The characteristic equation for a transversely isotropic elastic medium becomes
s4 − 2k2s2 + k4 = 0, (69)
provided d11 �= 0 and d11 �= d12 and it is observed that this characteristic equation is indepen-dent of its elastic moduli a, b, c. The solution of characteristic equation (69) gives repeatedeigenvalues
s = s1 = s2 = −s3 = −s4 = |k|. (70)
The equilibrium equations in the transformed domain for a transversely isotropic mediumare equivalent to the first-order vector differential equation. Further treatment for this caseis different from the treatment discussed earlier for a orthotropic/monoclinic medium withdifferent eigenvalues.
Ross (1984) has given a procedure to tackle the problems with repeated eigenvalues pro-vided the governing vector differential equation is of the first-order. For this situation, wedefine the process as given by Ross (1984) and the first order vector differential equationrepresenting the equilibrium equations is
dN1/dα = A1N1, (71)
where
N1 =

(72)
574 Kuldip Singh et al
Following the procedure as outlined by Ross (1984), the four independent eigen vectors arefound to be
X1 =

(73)
Thus, a general solution of first order matrix differential equation (71) for a transverselyisotropic medium (Ross 1984) is
N1 = (D1X1 + D2X2)e|k|α + (D3X3 + D4X4)e

where D1, D2, D3, D4 are coefficients which may depend upon k and dimensionless elasticcoefficient a.
The displacements and stresses in the transformed domain for a transversely isotropicmedium are found to be

Deformation of an anisotropic medium 575
4. An application: A normal line-load in an elastic half-space
We consider an elastic half-space with x-axis vertically downwards and the origin of thecartesian coordinate system (x, y, z) is taken at the boundary of the half-space. Let a normalline-load P0 be acting vertically downwards on a line parallel to z-axis and passing through thepoint (H, 0). The bounding surface x = 0 is assumed to be stress-free and we shall calculatethe resulting stresses and displacements at any point of the half-space for the following threetypes of medium:
4.1 Deformation of an orthotropic elastic medium
Consider the elastic half-space consisting of region α < α0 (medium I) and region α > α0
(medium II). We find the displacements and stresses at any point of an orthotropic elastic half-space due to a normal line-load P0 acting vertically downwards on a line parallel to z-axis(figure 1).
The boundary conditions are:On the plane x = 0,
τ 111(x = 0, y) = 0, τ 1
12(x = 0, y) = 0. (77)
On the plane x = H ,
u1(x = H, y) = u2(x = H, y),
v1(x = H, y) = v2(x = H, y),
τ 112(x = H, y) = τ 2
12(x = H, y),
τ 211(x = H, y) − τ 1
11(x = H, y) = −P0δ(y), (78)
where δ(y) is the Dirac-delta function and F [δ(y)] = 1.Defining the dimensionless force
P = P0/d66. (79)
Let the coefficients C1, C2, C3, C4 appearing in (65) and (66) in medium I be represented byC1, C2, C3, C4 and for medium II be represented by C+

The corresponding response in medium I is

The displacements for an isotropic elastic half-space obtained in (88) coincide with the cor-responding results obtained by Maruyama (1966).
5. Numerical results and discussion
We wish to examine the effect of anisotropy of the elastic half-space. For numerical com-putations, we use the values of elastic constants given by Love (1944) for topaz material(orthotropic), which are
a = 2.15789, b = 2.67669, c = 0.96240.
To examine the effect of anisotropy of elastic medium, various distribution curves in figures 2to 5 are plotted for orthotropic, transversely isotropic and isotropic elastic medium. For atransversely isotropic medium, the following relations
b = a, c = a − 2
are taken into consideration. For an isotropic elastic medium we consider α∗ = 0.6624. Inthese figures, the normal and tangential dimensionless displacements at the surface levelα = 0and subsurface level α = 0.5 have been shown for α0 = 1.0. Figures 2 and 4 show the variationof dimensionless normal displacement with dimensionless horizontal distance for orthotropic,transversely isotropic and isotropic elastic medium. In each case it is found that as we moveaway from the point of application, the difference between the dimensionless displacementscorresponding to orthotropic, transversely and isotropic elastic medium increases. Also it isfound that in magnitude the difference between the normal displacements corresponding to

orthotropic and isotropic is greater than that of the difference between transversely isotropicand isotropic. Figures 3 and 5 show the variation of dimensionless tangential displacementwith dimensionless horizontal distance for orthotropic, transversely isotropic and isotropicelastic medium. As we move away from the point of application the difference betweenthe dimensionless tangential displacement corresponding to orthotropic and isotropic elasticmedium increases. While the difference between the dimensionless tangential displacementscorresponding to isotropic and transversely isotropic medium decreases.
From these figures, it is concluded that the anisotropy is affecting the deformation sub-stantially.
