In the article, in the form of series in Papkovich–Fadle eigenfunctions, exact solutions to two inhomogeneous boundary value problems of the theory of elasticity for a half-strip with free long sides are constructed: (1) the half-strip end is free, (2) the half-strip end is rigidly clamped. First, a solution to the inhomogeneous problem for an infinite strip is constructed. Then, the corresponding solutions for a half-strip are added to this solution, with the help of which the boundary conditions at the end are satisfied. To solve the inhomogeneous problem in a strip, the Papkovich orthogonality relation is used.
