The Papkovich-Neuber functions are used to formulate the eigenfunctions for a semi-infinite elastic cone. The decay properties in the Saint Venant boundary region are investigated by examination of the eigenvalues for different cone angles. The coefficients of the non-orthogonal eigenfunction expansion are evaluated by a least squares technique. Convergence of the expansions is numerically examined for several loading cases.
