Uniform plastic slip is assumed to occur in a cubic region embedded at the free surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid. The slip plane and slip direction are both inclined at 45 deg to the free surface and to two opposite interior faces of the cube. The stress field produced by the slip is the same as that produced by equivalent uniform tractions acting on the faces of the cube. Closed-form solutions are obtained for all stress components by employing Papkovitch functions to calculate the effects of the equivalent surface tractions. Calculated numerical results for the distribution of stress components are shown graphically. Certain stress components are found to be discontinuous across the boundary surface of the region of plastic slip.

A general finite width correction ( FWC) factor is derived in this letter for an anisotropic laminate with elliptical soft/hard inclusion. Using the closed-form solutions for the stress components in the laminate, the derivation of the FWC factor is based on the concept of the global force equilibrium. Some specific cases are discussed. The accuracy of the derived FWC factor is demonstrated.

Steady-state problems of stresses in orthotropic slabs subjected to forces and temperature distribution on the faces are solved by means of Fourier transforms. The usual direct applications in the literature are shown for simple examples to lead to divergent integrals but, by introduction of generalized transforms, a very broad class of problems can be handled. As a part of these considerations, a more definite form of Saint-Venant’s principle is obtained. For a certain class of material constants, it is possible to obtain closed-form solutions for stresses when concentrated loads or temperature sources are applied to the faces of the slab. Results are presented for several examples in the form of complex stress potentials and graphs of the corresponding stress components.

SynopsisClosed form solutions of some triple equations involving trigonometric series have been obtained, in each case, by reducing them to a single integral equation. The results have been applied to determine the distribution of stress in the interior of an infinitely long elastic strip containing a pair of Griffith cracks situated on a line perpendicular to the bounding lines of the strip.


The distribution of stress produced in the interior of an elastic solid by the opening of an internal crack under the action of pressure applied to its surface is considered. The analysis is given for ‘Griffith’ cracks (§2) and for circular cracks (§3), it being assumed in the latter case that the applied pressure varies over the surface of the crack. For both types of crack the case in which the pressure is constant over the entire crack surface is considered in some detail, the stress components being tabulated and the distribution of stress shown graphically. The effect of a crack (of either type) on the stress produced in an elastic body by a uniform tensile stress is considered and the conditions for rupture deduced.

A new approach to the assessment and optimization of geometric stress-concentrating features is proposed on the basis of the correspondence between sharp crack or corner stressfield intensity factors and conventional elastic stress concentration factors (SCFs) for radiused transitions. This approach complements the application of finite element analysis (FEA) and the use of standard SCF data from the literature. The method makes it possible to develop closed-form solutions for SCFs in cases where corresponding solutions for the sharp crack geometries exist. This is helpful in the context of design optimization. The analytical basis of the correspondence is shown, together with the limits on applicability where stress-free boundaries near the stress concentrating feature are present or adjacent features interact. Examples are given which compare parametric results derived from FEA with closed-form solutions based on the proposed method. New information is given on the stress state at a 90° corner or width step, where the magnitude of the stress field intensity is related to that of the corresponding crack geometry. This correspondence enables the user to extend further the application of crack-tip stress-field intensity information to square-cornered steps, external U-grooves, and internal cut-outs.
