Abstract

In part I of the present article the formulation for a dynamic stationary semianalytical solution for a spatially constant load applied over a rectangular surface within a viscoelastic isotropic full-space has been presented. The solution is obtained within the frame of a double Fourier integral transform. These inverse integral transforms must be evaluated numerically. In the present paper, the technique to evaluate numerically the inverse double Fourier integrals is described. The procedure is validated, and a number of original displacement results for the stationary loading case are reported.
