In this paper we discuss the flexure of an incomplete tore in the plane of its circular centre-line. We reduce the problem to the determination of two harmonic functions, subject to boundary conditions on the surface of the tore which involve the first two derivatives of the functions. We point out the relation of this solution to the general solution of three-dimensional elasticity problems. The special case of a narrow rectangular cross-section is solved exactly in Appendix II.

In 1902, Professor E. T. Whittaker gave a general solution of Laplace's equation in the formwhere f is an arbitrary function of the two variables. It appears that this is not the most general solution, since there are harmonic functions, such as r−1Q0(cos θ), which cannot be expressed in this form near the origin. The difficulty is naturally connected with the location of the singular points of the harmonic function. It seems therefore to be worth while considering afresh the conditions under which Whittaker's solution is valid.

Three-dimensional stress distributions in hexagonal aeolotropic materials have recently been considered by Elliott(1, 2), who obtained a general solution of the elastic equations of equilibrium in terms of two ‘harmonic’ functions, or, in the case of axially symmetric stress distributions, in terms of a single stress function. These stress functions are analogous to the stress functions employed to define stress systems in isotropic materials, and in the present note further problems in hexagonal aeolotropic media are solved, the method in each case being similar to that used for the corresponding problem in isotropic materials. Because of this similarity detailed explanations are unnecessary and only the essential steps in the working are given below.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the fundamental solution in transversely isotropic micropolar thermoelastic media. With this objective, the two-dimensional general solution in transversely isotropic thermoelastic media is derived. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of the general solution, the fundamental solution for a steady point heat source on the surface of a semi-infinite transversely isotropic micropolar thermoelastic material is constructed by six newly introduced harmonic functions. Findings The components of displacement, stress, temperature distribution and couple stress are expressed in terms of elementary functions. From the present investigation, a special case of interest is also deduced and compared with the previous results obtained. Practical implications Fundamental solutions can be used to construct many analytical solutions of practical problems when boundary conditions are imposed. They are essential in the boundary element method as well as the study of cracks, defects and inclusions. Originality/value Fundamental solutions for a steady point heat source acting on the surface of a micropolar thermoelastic material is obtained by seven newly introduced harmonic functions. From the present investigation, some special cases of interest are also deduced.

AbstractThe present paper deals with the study of a fundamental solution in transversely isotropic thermoelastic media with mass diffusion and voids. For this purpose, a two-dimensional general solution in transversely isotropic thermoelastic media with mass diffusion and voids is derived first. On the basis of the obtained general solution, the fundamental solution for a steady point heat source on the surface of a semi-infinite transversely isotropic thermoelastic material with mass diffusion and voids is derived by nine newly introduced harmonic functions. The components of displacement, stress, temperature distribution, mass concentration and voids are expressed in terms of elementary functions and are convenient to use. From the present investigation, some special cases of interest are also deduced and compared with the previous results obtained, which prove the correctness of the present result.
