Abstract
This work ist directed toward the Fourier transform solution for the problem of the interaction between an elastic beam and an supporting elastic half space. A spatial harmonic load is applied along the longitudinal axis of an elastic beam. This results in a harmonic beam deflection, which in turn introduces a harmonic load in the elastic half space. In this manner it ist possible to relate the resulting half space deflections to the applied loads, and to resolve the applied load to beam and half space proportions. Comparison is made between this solution and the conventional solution of a beam resting on an elastic foundation.
