Abstract:
In this thesis, the transient response of an isotropic, homogenous and elastic half-space due to a buried finite sized line source was analyzed. The receiver was always taken on the surface. The solutions corresponding different orientations of line source and receiver were obtained. Numerical results were illustrated in graphs. The time dependence of source functions was taken in the form of Delta-Dirac function. The results obtained in this work can be used to explain the effect of the size of the transducers used in Nondestructive Testing of materials.
