In the figure below, two circular loads with respective diameters of 10 inches (254 mm) and 20 inches (508 mm) on centres are applied to a homogeneous half-space. 50 psi (345 kPa) of pressure is exerted on the circle. The elastic modulus of the half-space is 10,000 psi (69 MPa), and its Poisson ratio is 0.5. Find the vertical strain, deflection, and stress at point A, which is 10 in. (254 mm) below the centre of one circle.
