Shrnutí:The transient dynamic coupled-thermoelasticity problem of a half-space under the action of a buried thermal/mechanical source is analyzed here. This situation aims primarily at modeling underground explosions and impulsively applied heat loadings near a boundary. Also, the present basic analysis may yield the necessary field quantities required to apply the Boundary Element Method in more complicated thermoelastodynamic problems involving half-plane domains. A material response for the half-space predicted by Biots thermoelasticity theory is assumed in an effort to give a formulation of the problem as general as possible (within the confines of a linear theory) . The loading consists of a concentrated thermal source and a concentrated force (mechanical source) having arbitrary direction with respect to the half-plane surface. Both thermal and mechanical line sources are situated at the same location in a fixed distance from the surface. Plane-strain conditions are assumed to prevail. Our problem can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Nakano–Lapwood–Garvin problem and its recent versions due to Payton (1968) and Tsai and Ma (1991) . The initial/boundary value problem is attacked with one- and two-sided Laplace transforms to suppress, respectively, the time variable and the horizontal space variable. A 9×9 system of linear equations arises in the double transformed domain and its exact solution is obtained by employing a program of symbolic manipulations. From this solution the two-sided Laplace transform inversion is then obtained exactly through contour integration. The one-sided Laplace transform inversion for the vertical displacement at the surface is obtained here asymptotically for long times and numerically for short times.
