The elastostatic problem of a sphere subject to a concentrated surface load of arbitrary direction which is equilibrated in a very simple manner by a distribution of surface tractions is solved. Particular attention is placed in the analysis of the singularity at the point of application of the conc

โฆ Synopsis
Existing solutions to boundary value problems arising from an elastic sphere subjected to a body force have been primarily restricted to axisymmetric, conservative loading. In this paper, a method for solving the displacement equations governing the static equilibrium of an elastic sphere subjected to an arbitrary body force and surface displacement is presented. The solutions are obtained in terms of three vector spherical harmonics and expressions for the displacement and stress fields are presented. Additionally, a short discussion indicating extension of these solutions to dynamic problems is included.

This paper considers an asymmetrically kinked, semi-infinite crack in a two-dimensional solid under mixed-mode loading and a stress acting parallel to the main crack, the latter providing the non-singular stress term, T, in the Irwin-Williams expansion of the crack tip field. The aim of the study is
We consider boundary value problem in which an elastic layer containing a finite length crack is under compressive loading. The crack is parallel to the layer surfaces and the contact between crack surfaces are either frictionless or with adhesive friction or Coulomb friction. Based on fourier inte
