The stresses developed in a body due to moving load-causing fracture is an interesting problem of mechanics having its application towards the stability of a medium. In this paper, stresses developed in a monoclinic half space with rough free surface due to a normal moving load have been calculated both in closed form and numerically. It has been observed that frictional coefficient of the rough surface is also a parameter; the shear stress developed at different depth below the surface is increasing with increasing value of frictional coefficient where all the other parameters are keeping constant. The numerical calculations have been done for the case of Lithium Niobate for two values of friction constant and tabulated the result.
