Closed‐form analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses induced by a single force of arbitrary orientation located in an elastic half‐space in welded contact with another elastic half‐space are obtained. These expressions are valid for arbitrary values of the Poisson’s ratio and for arbitrary source and observer locations. The final results are given in a form that makes numerical computation straightforward and accurate.
