Abstract
This paper derives, for the first time, the complete set of three-dimensional Green’s functions (displacements, stresses, and derivatives of displacements and stresses with respect to the source point), or the generalized Mindlin solutions, in an anisotropic half-space z>0 with general boundary conditions on the flat surface z=0. Applying the Mindlin’s superposition method, the half-space Green’s function is obtained as a sum of the generalized Kelvin solution (Green’s function in an anisotropic infinite space) and a Mindlin’s complementary solution. While the generalized Kelvin solution is in an explicit form, the Mindlin’s complementary part is expressed in terms of a simple line-integral over [0,π]. By introducing a new matrix K, which is a suitable combination of the eigenmatrices A and B, Green’s functions corresponding to different boundary conditions are concisely expressed in a unified form, including the existing traction-free and rigid boundaries as special cases. The corresponding generalized Boussinesq solutions are investigated in details. In particular, it is proved that under the general boundary conditions studied in this paper, the generalized Boussinesq solution is still well-defined. A physical explanation for this solution is also offered in terms of the equivalent concept of the Green’s functions due to a point force and an infinitesimal dislocation loop. Finally, a new numerical example for the Green’s functions in an orthotropic half-space with different boundary conditions is presented to illustrate the effect of different boundary conditions, as well as material anisotropy, on the half-space Green’s functions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
