The classical two-dimensional solution provided by L6vy for the stress distribution in an elastic wedge, loaded by a uniform pressure on one face, becomes infinite when the opening angle 2c~ of the wedge satisfies the equation tan 2c~, = 2~,. Such pathological behavior prompted the investigation in

The classical two-dimensional solution for the stress distribution in an elastic wedge subjected to tractions proportional to r"(n/> 0) becomes infinite when the wedge angle 2c~ and the constant n satisfy the definite relations, this is a paradox. For n = 0 it was resolved by Dempsey [Journal of Ela
The classical two-dimensional sohit~on for the stress distribution in an elastic wedge loaded by a uniform pressure on one side of the wedge becomes infinite when the wedge angle 2a satisfies the equation tan 2a. = 2a.. This paradox was resolved recently by Dempsey who obtained a solution which is b
