KOSTROV (Moscow) (Received July 1, 1963) The plane problem of motion of a rigid strip-mass of finite constant width and infinite length,which is in rigid contact with the Infinite elastic medium and Is acted upon by a plane elastic wave is reduced to two boundary value problems of the dynamic theory of elasticity for the half-space,which are solved by the Wiener-Hopf-Fok method. We have obtained Formulas for the components of the displacement and angle of rotation of the strip which for finite intervals of time, contain a flnlte number of quadratures. An analogous problem for a strip lying on the surface of the elastic half- space was considered in [l]. A related acoustic problem was investigated by an analogous method by Afanasev [2]. 1. Consider a rigid strip-mass of infinite length and finite constant width In a rigid contact with the elastic medium which occupies the Infinite space. Let us choose the units of length, time and mass in such a way that the half of the strip width, the density of the medium, and the velocity of the transverse waves become equal to unity. We introduce a Cartesian coordl- nate system YZ and place the strip along +he Z-axis, so that y = 0, - 00 zco, and Isl\i. Let the strip be acted upon by a plane wave whose front is parallel to the edge of the strip (Fig. 1) and reaches It at the Instant t = 0. Under the above assumptions all the quantities are independent of the cooredlnate I, i.e. the medium is In the state of plane strain. When t\ 0 the strip Is at rest, and the total displacementvec- tor of the medium with the components u_.,u, coincides with the displacement vector of the moving wave 113 -I I id * f Y Fig. 1 114 B.V.
