โฆ Synopsis
In this paper the representation of displacement fields in linear elasticity in terms of harmonic functions is considered. In the original work of Papkovich and Neuber four harmonic functions were presented with a subsequent reduction to three on the grounds that only three are sufficient for the representation of displacements fields. This reduction is unsubstantiated and several authors have investigated the generality of the Papkovich-Neuber solutions. The paper derives by simple means the conditions under which it is possible to omit one of the four harmonic functions and considers the significance of the subsequent three function form.

The paper presents a three-dimensional solution to the equilibrium equations for linear elastic transversely isotropic inhomogeneous media. We assume that the material has constant Poisson's ratios, and its Young's and shear moduli have the same functional form of dependence on the co-ordinate norma
Elastic fields of circular dislocation and disclination loops are represented in explicit form in terms of spherical harmonics, i.e. via series with Legendre and associated Legendre polynomials. Representations are obtained by expanding Lipschitz-Hankel integrals with two Bessel functions into Legen
