Application of low-order potential solutions to higher-order vertical traction boundary problems in an elastic half-space

New solutions of potential functions for the bilinear vertical traction boundary condition are derived and presented. The discretization and interpolation of higher-order tractions and the superposition of the bilinear solutions provide a method of forming approximate and continuous solutions for th...
