Analysis of sloping elastic pile under arbitrary loads by line-loaded integral equation method

For analysis of displacement and stress, an elastic sloping pile embedded in a homogeneous isotropic elastic half space under arbitrary loads at the top can be decomposed into two plane systems, i.e., the inclined plane xOz and its normal plane yOz . Let Mindlin's forces be the fundamental loads with unknown intensity function X(t),Y(t),Z(t) ,parallel to x,y,z_axis respectively, be distributed along the t axis of the pile in and concentrated forces Q x,Q y,Z ,couples M y,M x at top of the pile. Then, according to the boundary conditions of elastic pile, the problem is reduced to a set of Fredholm_Volterra type equations. Numerical solution is given and the accuracy of calculation can be checked by the reciprocal theorem of work.
