Abstract
An explicit solution of the surface displacements due to a line force or a line dislocation within an anisotropic half-space is presented. The surface displacements are derived from the solution corresponding to a suddenly applied surface line force using the reciprocal theorem. The solution is in a closed form for isotropic media. For anisotropic solids, only an eigenvalue problem needs to be solved numerically for a given time and position to calculate the surface response. Numerical results are given for silicon.
