Introduction

Figure 1.5 The plane strain approximation for a prismatic solid body

Ignoring body forces, equilibrium Equations 1.6 to 1.8 become





(1.62)

(1.63)

(1.64)

Using the strain definitions given in Equations 1.2 to 1.5, and with no temperature

change constitutive Equation 1.22 becomes

 (1.65)

One method of continuing the analysis is to define a stress function , known as Airys stress function,

which automatically satisfies equilibrium Equations 1.62 and 1.63




Using Equation 1.65
