From Editor's Desk

Dear Researcher, Greetings! Research article in this issue discusses about rural development in the context of developing countries, static deformation of two half spaces in smooth contact. Let us review research around the world this month; Intel is about to bringing 'Yolo' smart phone to untapped world markets. Intel, in partnership with integrated communications provider Safaricom, announced a new entry-level smart phone designed for developing markets, dubbing the device the "Yolo." Pressure keeps cancer in check. Putting the squeeze on lab-grown tumor cells makes them behave like healthy ones, a new study shows. The discovery won’t lead to treatments that poke and prod tumors in patients, but it might help researchers develop new drugs that keep mutated cells from growing out of control. Breast cancer cells suspended in gel and then briefly compressed form orderly balls, just like normal breast cells do when squeezed, Gautham Venugopalan, an engineer and cell biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, reported December 17 at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology. “We’re not adding any drugs. We’re not changing any genetics,” Venugopalan said. “All we’ve done is basically kicked them and said, ‘you need to be normal now.’” There is Half a Million DVDs in Your DNA. The new work isn't the first example of large-scale storage of digital information in DNA. Last year, researchers led by bioengineers Sriram Kosuri and George Church of Harvard Medical School reported that they stored a copy of one of Church's books in DNA, among other things, at a density of about 700 terabits per gram, more than six orders of magnitude more dense than conventional data storage on a computer hard disk. Now, researchers led by molecular biologists Nick Goldman and Ewan Birney of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton, U.K., report online today in Nature that they've improved the DNA encoding scheme to raise that storage density to a staggering 2.2 petabytes per gram, three times the previous effort. It has been an absolute pleasure to present you articles that you wish to read. We look forward to many more new technology-related research articles from you and your friends. We are anxiously awaiting the rich and thorough research papers that have been prepared by our authors for the next issue. Thanks, Editorial Team IJITCE

Abstract—The integration of various stakeholders, tour operators, travel agencies and non government organization in tourist receiving countries contrib ute a key significant impact to the host communities (Develop ing Countries) development. To take the advantages of voluntourism benefit and eradicate the debacle that was characterized from the initial tourism activities ( economic, environmental and cultural commodification) thus ca ll for need to institutionalize voluntourism at rural leve ls. The developing countries therefore must develop agenda that is developmental driven focusing on the efficacy of planning, an action packed program that is implemen table with a carefully logical evaluation policies design ed to meet the community’s needs and aspirations. To achi eve this objective, the methodology adopted is systemic review of relevant literature in exploring the nitt y-gritty of tourist role in rural development in Nigeria (Afric an). This paper therefore, reviews the potential benefit of voluntourism as an antidote to rural development particularly in the developing Nations of Africa vi s -a- vis their identified attributes of financial assistanc e, knowledge transfer and skill acquisition, internati onal connection, integrated national endowment via resto ration of environment through skill acquisitions, educatio n, cultural immersion, coupled with increase competitiveness and service quality of local econom y, integrated development, Proficiency and Efficacy, I mage promotion and International Connection, increased c apital improvement and investment, focused ideology and i deal platform for local entrepreneurs, wealth creation and equitable distribution and economic development. It is on this premise, that rural revitalization programme a nd African development can be attained successfully an d evaluated in consonance with voluntourism involveme nt.

Keywords: Rural development, Developing Country, Commodification, Potential, attribute, Voluntourism.

I. INTRODUCTION

International tourism has been on centre stage of discussion for decades as a mechanism for positive economic development [1 - 7]; because of its ability to generate employment opportunities, income generation, foreign exchange, network / linkages through multiplier effect, infrastructure and regional development while less consideration was accorded to environmental and socio- cultural adverse effect of tourists activities on the host communities and their ethics [8 - 15]. To strike a balance in the dichotomy that interpolates positivity, negativity of tourism activities and its implications on developing countries. It is on this dichotomy that this paper focuses on a new niche in tourism called voluntourism as an antidote to rural declination, degeneration and development in developing countries of Africa.

Volunteer tourism or voluntourism has become a global phenomenon ignited by “Gap Year” and the seal of its younger participants to travel the universe with the main motive of “Making a Difference” basically at grassroots level [16 - 18 ]. This is due to the affections about our natural and serene environment and the aim to render selfless services [19 - 21]. Volunteer tourism is an alternative form of tourism in which tourists volunteer in an organized manner to undertake holidays that might involve aiding or alleviating the material needs of some groups in society, the

restoration of certain environment or research into aspects of society or environment and cultural exchange with the host community [16,22, 23]; conceives Volunteer tourism as utilizing discretionary time and income to travel out of the sphere of the regular activity to assist others in need.

The increasing demand for an alternative, friendlier, authenticity, discriminating experience has occasioned a new array of niche product amongst which Volunteer tourism is one of the fastest growing and most prominent[2, 24-26]. The definition above portends travelling with a purpose of alleviating poverty through rendering of assistance to the needy regardless of religion and cultural background, trait, sex, colour and restoration of environment, conservation through educational research, finance and freewill donations which benefits the community and tourists in the aspect of destination changing, interaction, cross-cultural experience, improving race relationship, exchange of care, improved partnership capacity and motivational standard [27-33].The shift from the traditional or conventional tourism activities that exploit the host community to activities where the tourists gives back to host community is the bedrock upon which voluntourism rests [17]. Although, many authors have different opinions to Volunteer tourism as in [34 – 36] that their study on habitat for humanity while [2, 37-38] generalized volunteer tourists as being driven by not just pleasant diversions and alternative experiences, they are devoted to “poverty alleviation and to ameliorate social and environmental conditions within local communities”. This assertion is of significant relevance to our subject of investigation “rural development in developing countries context: voluntourism as an antidote”. The aim of this research is to understand voluntourism as a vital weapon to sustainable poverty alleviation in Africa.

The paper further stressed the efficacy of volunteer tourism as a crucial policies to be used in

the development of Africa Nation. It also enunciated intrigue of initial tourism activity on environmental implication, cultural abuse and neglect, commodification exercise, social effect, psychological trauma of host displacement and disposition on arable farming, animal extinction, oppression, exploitation, deprivation [39- 41] thus required holistic approach to ameliorate these menace hence voluntourism involvements based on the exploration of their potential and benefits as an antidote for rural development in Africa. Although the newness of this approach firstly call for sensitization of host communities and various governmental apparatus, stakeholders that are saddled with the onus of developing Africa Nations economically, socially, infrastructural and wellness of the inhabitant at large.

II. RURAL POLICIES ISSUES AND CONVENTIONAL

EFFORTS (NIGERIA)

Many approaches / strategies have been adopted to develop rural communities which ranges from rural economic development (Econometric model of as in [42]), community vitality via the exploration and utilization of community natural resources [43], promotion of new business development and entrepreneurship ; where rural residents compliment manufacturing recruitment exercise [44], economic paradigm via improvement on the primary economic base of the community [45], economic dimension based on cultural artefact/ model toward poverty alleviation [46], rural community education strategy was also instituted to reduce the illiteracy level by [47]; rural self employment and re-employment exercise via empowerment of local residents through credit facilities [48] are all laudable strategies but sad enough the strategies were deficiencies as they were unable to meet the needs of rural residents due to non involvement of rural communities hence the institutionalization of voluntourism as an alternative model to revitalize rural communities in developing countries. This is crucial so as to attain

economic regeneration, alleviate poverty and improve livelihood of rural dwellers.

Nigeria has adopted and practicalized various agricultural developmental programmes which were then the most important sector of the economy due to its ability to supply rural employment, food, fibre and exporting earnings before the discovery of oil. Based on this, emphasis which was rooted in agricultural development at all levels that yielded high optimum returns for domestic consumption and international exportation of food crop such as yam, cassava, millet, soya beans, maize accounted for over 60% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product ( GDP). This however, has been neglected due to oil extraction and exploration [49]. This led to massive rural – urban migration and reduction in labour force required for prompt agricultural production of raw materials to feed the urban populace. To corroborate this, a survey revealed that urban population is greater than rural population. Various agricultural developmental programmes as strategies adopted in Nigeria includes operation Feed the Nation (OFN); the Green Revolution, Directorate of Food, Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI, 1986), Agricultural Development Program (ADP); National Directorate of Employment (NDE), National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA, 1992). It is very disdainful that these laudable efforts went to drain as they were neither properly co-ordinated nor properly implemented as a result of improper planning and less attention given to the plight and needs of local people, poor orientation, high illiteracy level in all our rural community, poor finance and so on. It is therefore necessary and imperative for Nigeria’s policy makers, planners, stakeholders and tourism board to look inwards and toward the direction of new niche in tourism called voluntourism based on their antecedent, financial assistance, experience, physical presence, willingness, self efficacy, motive, altruism, professionalism and networking

as the alternative model / approach for rural revitalization in developing countries-Nigeria.

The persistence of poverty [50 -51] led to the inauguration of the presidential committee on poverty alleviation in Nigeria [51 -53] to evaluate the existing poverty alleviation efforts of government with a view to upgrading the programs where lacking. The pioneering initiative in this regard was the Lagos Plan of Action 1980 (LPA) which emphasized strategies of self-reliance, food security, industrialization and regional integration and the establishment of Africa’s Priority Programme for Economic Recovery (APPER) 1986-1990. In the year 1986, United Nations Programme of Action for Africa Economic Recovery and Discovery (UNPAARED) was established to overcome constraints to development in Africa through mobilization of development in African resources. The United Nations New Agenda for the Development in Africa (UN-NADAF) in 1990s was adopted to strengthen the continent’s economy and reduce vulnerability to external shock and increase its dynamism, internalize the process of development and increase progress towards achieving oriental goal by the year 2000 in the area of life expectancy, woman empowerment, child and maternal mortality, nutrition, water and sanitation, basic education and shelter. The policy reform became handicap as it was unable to fulfil the objectives set thus becoming imperatively pragmatic to unveil voluntourism as alternative strategy.

Another effort made is the establishment of Nigerian Agricultural and Cooperative Bank (NACB) of 1973; Directorate of Foods, Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI) of 1986; National Directorate of Employment (NDE) of 1986; River Basin Development Authorities (RBDAs) of 1987; Peoples Bank of Nigeria (PBN) of 1990, National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult &Non- Formal Education (NCMLAE) of 1990; National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) of 1992; Family Economic Advancement Programme

(FEAP) of 1997; Poverty Alleviation Programme (PAP) of Year 2000 till Date. The programmes encountered problems of over centralization, unsustainable design, uncoordinated management, over-politicization, irregular payment, lack of monitoring, logistics, high-level and low level corruption and non involvement of rural residents.

Also, the Federal Government of Nigeria integrated their implementation into the National Development Plan and even the MDG [53] as encapsulated in the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) at the federal level, State Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (SEEDS) at the state level and Local Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (LEEDS) at the local government level. From 2003 to 2007, Nigeria was implementing the NEEDS, which is currently the overarching framework for poverty reduction in the country with primary objectives of raising the country's standard of living through a variety of reforms, including macro-economic stability, deregulation, liberalization, privatization, transparency, and accountability. In assessing the performance of NEEDS, SEEDS and LEEDS in general, it has been criticized and characterized with siphoning of public fund, lack of inclusiveness, bad political motive, greed, personal motive, weak targeting and low level of transparency which is hoped that volunteer tourists could help to tackle this scourge of poverty and promote the well-being of an ` average Nigerian and the socio-economic development of the entire country.

III. THE EPISTEMENOLOGY OF VOLUNTOURISM

The advent of voluntourism organization such as save the world in a week” by [6] “You are different” by Global Vision International; ”Make a Difference” by Travellers Worldwide; and ”Leave Your Mark On the World” by Global Volunteers [29, 54 -55] with a general acronym of “One Team, One Mission, Salvaging poverty in our Land. These various acronym buttressed the essence of

voluntourism as a veritable alternative approach for rural revitalization due to their immense contribution to social responsibility, tour planning and tour packaging.

The prompt education, awareness and encouragement/ incentive fashioned out to tourists to partake in meaningful activities mostly in rural communities thereby typified the ways in which numerous organizations characterized volunteer’s impact as wholly positive and clearly achievable. Hence, the discovery of volunteer tourism became a vessel for economic, social, political and global development with the involvement of Government, NGOs, Tour Operators, creation of visitor centre staffing, local tourist and most importantly host participation and involvement.

The antecedent of voluntourists Self-efficacy;[56]; Motives [17]; Altruism,[57-58]; Autonomy, [59]; Self Fulfilment, [15]; Escapism, [60]; Mutual Relationship, [30]; Host Involvement / Collaboration, [61]; Civic Education, [62]; Skill Development / Acquisition, [63]; Environmental Sustainability,[64 - 65]; Curiosity, [41, 66]; Deccommodification, [67]; Social Force, [54]; Cultural Immersion, [35]; Gap Year, Ward, [68]; Non Governmental Organization [2]; Attitude/ Self Congruity; [69 - 70]. It is hoped that this laudable niche can be re-positioned towards rural revitalization so as to curb the imminent catastrophe of mass movement of the youth leading to urbanization and its attendant, rural neglect, exploitation and deprivation, shortage of raw materials, poor human life as a result of insufficient facilities, unemployment, under employment and food insecurity.

Voluntourism concept of Branding and re-branding crept in as a contemporary strategy for rural development which gives room for self congruity and community participation. This strategy was anchored on product branding, place branding, Cultural branding and acceptability and rebranding of local traditional and ritualized


5 www.ijitce.co.uk

products. These include traditional foods, regional languages, folklore, historical and prehistoric sites [71 - 73].

Moreso, the literature has shown how voluntourism can positively increase destination image marketing development [74- 76]. The increased performance is attributed to the emergency of alternative tourism called voluntourism and their activities have enhanced rebranding of various communities products, place branding and cultural branding [71-72, 77]. The branding not only continue to promote but create a wider opportunities to position the communities image to the international market as well as increase accessibility and intention to re visit by the voluntourist. This singular attribute is not well pronounced in the study area and if this is re-channelled towards rural revitalization, the vacuums will be hitherto bridged. Refer the figure 1:VOLUNTOURISM ORGANIZATION IN NIGERIA.

IV. THE POTENTIAL BENEFIT OF VOLUNTOURIST

INVOLVEMENT IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT (AFRICA)

Having peruse some of the conventional approaches and the advent of tourism industry as a catalyst and research still showing that vacuum exists, the question now is “why Voluntourism”?. The efficacy, potential, zeal and financial assistance of this calibre of tourists are the simplest answer to the above riddle. However, the mutual cooperation and involvement [30, 78- 79] of host communities plays a vital role in attainment of voluntourism gesture [7,18, 61, 80]).

Followings are some of the basic benefits gainable from voluntourism involvement

a) Increased capital improvement and investment

Capital formation and resource management has been identified as a bane of most developing countries of the world [81], therefore with this poor management of Africa resources, it has been an hindrance to resource development and most

importantly to the tourist destination thus establishes the dire needs of voluntourism gesture as a financial aid and capital transfer medium. This is achieved through their zealousness in conjunction with stakeholders, voluntary organizations tour operators NGO’s and past experience. The voluntourism activities will spur increase in supply of finance and capital thus leads to increased investment, quality improvement, better marketing opportunities and at long run improve African economy.

b) Knowledge transfer and skill acquisition

The potency of voluntourism, professionalism, range of technical skill and their managerial expertise can aide African development as they are always eager to share knowledge with the policy makers, governmental agencies and host communities without any form of levies. What is expected of the developing countries is to network their plans and design in line with the voluntourism agenda and program with primary assurance on tourist security. The above connectivity will aid in breeding of such community to international repute and thereby resulting into increased economic livelihood. Government on their own part should formulate favourable policies that will support the institutionalization of voluntourism and dabble into the land tenure system and customary law that empower individual ownership of land so as to ease land acquisition marked for development, policy implementation ad knowledge transfer centre.

Moreso, Volunteer tourism can provide a range of technical and managerial expertise on poverty alleviation both at the preconception, during the course of tour and post tour as the whole world is now seen as a global village with the advent of different communication gadgets, electronic media and internet facilities. The developing countries can utilize this medium from voluntourism website in line with their current


6 www.ijitce.co.uk

objectives to seek and solicit for assistance and guide on the way in which they are able to apply the same strategy in alleviating poverty in some developed countries as rightly observed [ 2, 37,]. Emerging nations may relate with the voluntourism sector on area of interest like the design of workable programmes, mode of implementation, affected people, organizational procedures, operational procedures, and engineering aspect, planning and training. With this cross exchange of ideas, the Government can institute a policy supporting programme seeking for volunteer tourist or voluntourist via tour operators to come over to educate [4] and participate in any programme exhibited in the role played by volunteer tourism in conservation of natural park, preservation, conservation protection of natural environment and festivity [30, 59, 82]

c) Image promotion and International Connection

Volunteer tourism or voluntourism provide international connection thereby helpingq1 to polish the host country’s image through selfless service rendered to the country which will eventually open more doors to other multinational organizations to help in alleviating poverty either through provision of machineries, materials and or finance. It should be noted that the sustenance of this assistance is dependent on mutual understanding and peaceful co-existence of the people and the nation at large, cultural immersion [83 - 84], understanding and positive motive [85], cultural and spiritual experience, amiability [Raymond,2008;, increase social contact [86], sustainable development and most importantly the security of life and property of the tourists must be guaranteed [87]. Thus, the involvement of volunteer tourism and their motivational antecedents [29] results in rebranding the national image thereby open more vistas of opportunities for bi-lateral relationships between the participating nationalities.

d) Focus

Considering the magnitude, profile and dimension of poverty in Africa, Nigeria as an example, it will be ideal to properly focus on sizeable proportion of people and specific programmes to be embarked upon, thus requiring the wealth of knowledge, ideas and goodwill of volunteer tourism to key in with the Government of Nigeria’s policy and programs towards the low income bracket [87]. It should be noted that the primary goal of any economic planning is the attainment of rapid increase in the nation’s productive capacity with a view to improving the living standard of people and improving the standard of living of an average person. Empirical findings have shown that all strategies and efforts highlighted in this study have failed to tackle endemic poverty situations and poverty has defiled solutions in Nigeria despite the enormous wealth of the nation. This calls for more concerted efforts and advocacy in rejuvenating the system through the use of new strategic efforts such as free donors of time, finance and presence [88].

e) Proficiency and Efficacy

The organizational competence of volunteer tourists is another profitable avenue that accompanies their goodwill in poverty alleviation. And in enhancing proficiency, activities rendered to improve the well-being of those areas visited by gap year volunteers as investigated by [89]; Global awareness [90]; Skill development and acquisition [63]is unquantifiable ranging from rendering personal assistance of time, finance, superior research, good reputation, managerial skills, education, enlightenment, direct construction cum supervision, sense of oneness and togetherness, people centred approach and the welfare of the host community [91] appreciative enquiry [53] that are the paramount motive of volunteer tourism as


7 www.ijitce.co.uk

well as resident support are vital tools that can be employed to alleviate poverty in Nigeria [58, 90, 87]. Although, the efficacy and authenticity of voluntourist may be illogical to measure but their past assistance and performance in developed countries gives the impetus to be able to perform creditably in developing countries. The acronym of voluntourism organization [6] which typified their modus operandi authenticates their potency and efficacy to take Africa to the next level of economic revitalization/development.

f) Integrated Development

Although, many developing countries have different challenges bedevilling implementation of programmes and policies but in case of Nigeria the pervasiveness of poverty could be attributed to failed strategies and non-inclusion of volunteer tourism [90, 92]. Hence, the need for alternative approach to sensitize, harmonize and develop all natural endowment to world acceptable standard for tourists and recreationists.

g) Increase competitiveness and service quality of local economy

The main concern here is that although the

developing countries have natural attractions but what then requires is the knowledge, experience and motivation of voluntourism and that the developing countries needs to facilitate acceptable level of services in order to attract voluntourism because international tourism is a highly competitive industry. Hence, the developing countries should provide an enabling environment that is not hostile. Therefore, the nation preparedness, reception and networking is a vital tool to convince and solicit for voluntourism support. In this respect, the nation with the above knowledge of their support, will enjoy improved quality service and compete favourably among nations of the world economically, socially and infrastructurally [93- 94] and also the influence of

geographical setting of an area can also aid tourist attraction in a competitive manner.

h) Ideal platform for local entrepreneurs

Voluntourism may also induce the exhibition and demonstration of local artworks among the indigenous and foreign tourists. That is to say, the adoption of voluntourism as a veritable strategy to Africa development will orchestrate managerial techniques; improve local skill and local entrepreneurship, especially the locally owned business by showcasing the nation based on comparatively advantageous works/ goods produced.

V. CONCLUSION

This paper concludes that African as a continent has not made judicious use of this sector and have also failed to recognize that investing in this sector will aid economic growth of the nation. This however may be considered as a lack of political will on the part of public policy makers and policy implementers. A finding also indicates that all efforts by the government to eradicate the scourge of poverty in the continent have failed. This study aims to encourage individuals, governments and nations that have embraced and those who have not to embrace the gesture of alternative tourism via attracting voluntourist and their activity and shared experience as a way of testing the possibility of alleviating poverty because voluntourism is a more preferred alternative for poverty reduction because of its broad and diverse nature ranging from their willingness to assist personally, financially, dedication of time and services arising from their tour. However, it was emphasized in this research that the main antidote to economic development, unemployment and poverty reduction is the adoption of voluntourism.

The study found that the developing countries has failed to provide enabling

environment devoid of conflict, maiming and kidnapping thus portend little or no assistance from voluntourists to come to their aid. This finding suggests that volunteer tourism providers, the Non-governmental organizations and developing countries, needs to pay greater attention to building a strong relationship with their volunteer tourists and to develop programs that demonstrate an obvious positive impact on the host community. Volunteer tourism providers and organizers should work toward a better understanding of the different motivation factors of various types of volunteer tourists in order to achieve; learning more about volunteer tourists‘ unique motivations as a way to encourage volunteer tourists participation in poverty alleviation, developing marketing programs that appeal to those distinctive motivation factors and provision of accurate information of volunteer tourism activities will motivate potential volunteer tourists to participate. It is on this premise that, this study strongly recommends that developing countries should institutionalize, recognize and adopt this sector as an antidote, weapon and tool for sustainable rural development in Africa.

I. ABSTRACT

Closed-form analytic expressions for the Airy stress function, stresses and displacements fo r half-spaces in smooth contact by applying suitable boundary conditions at the interface are first obtained. These expressions are then integrated analytically to derive the Airy stress function for a vertical tensile fault of arbitrary dip and finite width. Closed-form analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses follow immediately from the Airy stress function. The variation of the stresses with the horizontal distance from the faul t and with the depth studied numerically. The results obtained in smooth contact are compared with that of welded contact.

II. INTRODUCTION

Rongved (1955) obtained closed-form algebraic expressions for the Neuber-Papkovich displacement potentials for an arbitrary point force acting in an infinite medium consisting of two elastic half-spaces in welded contact. Dundurs and Hetenyi (1965) obtained these functions when the half-spaces are in smooth contact and also obtained the corresponding displacement field. Moreover, they compared the traction for a smooth interface with that for a perfect bond between the two semi-infinite solids. Heaton and Heaton (1989) used the expressions for the Neuber-Papkovich functions derived by Rongved (1955) to obtain analytical expressions for

the static deformation field produced by point forces and point force couples embedded in two Poissonian half-spaces in welded contact. Kumari et al. (1992) generalized the results of Heaton and Heaton (1989) and they obtained the expressions for the displacements for arbitrary Poisson’s ratio. Furthermore, they obtained closed-form analytical expression for the stresses as well. Sharma et al. (1991) obtained closed-form analytical expressions for the displacement and stresses at any point of either of the two homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-spaces in welded contact due to very long strike-slip dislocations.

Singh and Garg (1986) obtained the integral expression for the Airy stress function in an unbounded medium due to various two-dimensional seismic sources. Beginning with these expressions, Rani et al. (1991) obtained the integral expressions and hence closed form analytical expressions for the Airy stress function, displacements and stresses in a homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-space due to various two-dimensional sources by applying the traction-free boundary conditions at the surface of the half-space. Singh and Rani (1991) obtained closed-form analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses at any point of a two-phase medium consisting of a homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-space in welded contact with a homogeneous, orthotropic, perfectly elastic half-space caused by two-dimensional seismic sources located in the isotropic half-space.Singh et al. (1992) followed a similar procedure to obtain the closed-form analytical expression for the displacements and stresses at any point of either of two homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-spaces in welded contact due to two-dimensional sources.

Singh and Singh (2000) derived closed–form analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses at an arbitrary point of the half-space caused by a long vertical tensile fault of finite width. Singh et al. (2002) extended the results of Singh (2000) and obtained the closed-form analytical expression for the subsurface stresses and displacements caused by a long inclined tensile fault buried in a homogeneous isotropic half-space. The effect of depth of the upper edge of the fault and the dip angle on the deformation field has been examined. Kumar et al. (2005) derived analytical expressions for the displacements and stress fields at any point of the two homogeneous, isotropic elastic half-spaces in welded contact caused by a long tensile fault of arbitrary dip and finite width. In this paper, we obtain closed-form analytical expressions for the displacements and the stresses at any point of either of the two homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-spaces in smooth contact caused by various two-dimensional sources embedded in one of the half-spaces. The results are valid for arbitrary Poisson’s ratio. Only plane strain case is considered. The stresses for the smooth interface case are compared with the corresponding stresses for the welded interface. We begin with the integral expressions for the Airy stress function in an unbounded medium given by Singh and Garg (1986) to obtain the integral expressions for the Airy stress functions stresses and displacements for the two half-spaces in smooth contact by applying suitable boundary conditions at the interface. The integrals are then evaluated analytically, obtaining closed-form expressions for the stresses at any point of either of the two half-spaces caused by vertical tensile fault. For numerical calculations, half spaces are assumed Poissionian.

III. THEORY

Let the Cartesian coordinates be denoted by

1 2 3( , , )x x x with

3-x axis vertically downwards. Consider

a two-dimensional approximation in which the

displacement components 1 2 3, , u u u are independent of

1x so that

10x∂ ∂ ≡ .Under this assumption, the plain

strain problem 1

( 0)u = can be solved in terms of the Airy

stress function U such that

We consider two homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-spaces which are in smooth contact along

the plane 3

0x = . The upper half-space 3

( 0)x ⟨ is called

medium I and the lower half-space 3

( 0)x ⟩ , medium II,

with elastic constants1 1, λ µ and

2 2, λ µ respectively

(Figure 1). The superscript (1) denotes the quantities related to medium I and the superscript (2) denotes those related to medium II.

Let there be line source parallel to 1x -axis. As

shown by Singh and Garg (1986), the Airy stress

function 0U for a line source parallel to the

1x axis

passing through the point (0,0, )h in an infinite medium

can be expressed in the form

V. DISCUSSION

Figures 2(a)-2(d), 3(a)-3(d) and 4(a)-4(d) show the variation of the dimensionless stresses P22, P23 and P33 at the interface with the horizontal distance from the fault and the figures 5(a)-5(d), 6(a)-6(d) and 7(a)-7(d) show the variation of the dimensionless stresses P22, P23 and P33 at the interface with the depth from the fault for the

cases. In all the figures (from 2(a)-7(d)), and are

stresses when contact of half-space is welded. The superscript denotes the medium. Figure 2(a) shows variation of normal stress P22 for smooth contact and

noticed that near the origin, the values of stress

As we move away from the fault, this difference becomes less and approaches to zero for infinitely large distances from the fault. Figures 3(a) to 3(d) show variation of stress and with distance from the fault

As the value of rigidity contrast increases the value of

Variation of stresses with depth from the fault is shown in figures 5(a) to 7(d). Here, too, variation is examined for same rigidity ratios as explained above. It

is observed that initially the values of stresses and

are nearly zero.

VI. CONCLUSION

In both cases i.e in welded contact and smooth contact, stresses tend to zero as x2 and x3 approaches to infinity respectively. We notice that the magnitude of stresses for smooth contact model are greater than the magnitude of stresses for welded contact model up to some epicentral distances and then decreases rapidly. Also, in case of smooth contact, the behavior of stresses at the interface for the two half-spaces is opposite to each other i.e., when it is increasing in medium I, it is decreasing for medium II and vice versa. We observe that a change in value of

alters the magnitude of the stresses.
