Micropolar; orthotropic; eigen-value; Fourier and Laplace transforms

The present paper is concerned with the problem of an orthotropic micropolar half-space subjected to concentrated and distributed loads. The disturbance due to normal and tangential loads are investigated by employing eigen-value approach. The integral transforms have been inverted by using a numerical technique to obtain the normal displacement, normal force stress and tangential couple stress in the physical domain. The results of these quantities are given and illustrated graphically.
