We construct exact solutions of two inhomogeneous boundary value problems in the theory of elasticity for a half-strip with free long sides in the form of series in Papkovich–Fadle eigenfunctions: (a) the half-strip end is free and (b) the half-strip end is firmly clamped. Initially, we construct a solution of the inhomogeneous problem for an infinite strip. Subsequently, the corresponding solutions for a half-strip are added to this solution, whereby the boundary conditions at the end are satisfied. The Papkovich orthogonality relation is used to solve the inhomogeneous problem in a strip.
