Abstract: The analytic expressions for the displacement components and stresses at a point of an orthotropic micropolar elastic medium with an overlying elastic half space as a result of moving inclined load of arbitrary orientation were obtained. The inclined load was assumed to be a linear combination of a normal load and a tangential load. The eigen value approach using Fourier transforms was employed and the transform was inverted by using a numerical technique.The numerical results were illustrated graphically for aluminium epoxy composite.

Key words: moving inclined load, orthotropic micropolar, eigenvalue, Fourier transform
