Abstract
This chapter presents a unified point force solution for problems associated with an infinite solid. The trial-and-error method and the general solution obtained in Chapter 2 will be used to develop point force solutions when the material properties vary (i.e., s1 = s2 = and s1 ≠ s2). The discussion will then be extended to problems for inclusions and spherically isotropic materials. The reader will find that the method of deriving the displacements and stresses is straightforward and explicit and the solutions obtained are easy to apply.
