✔Problem 7.6
Invert the plane stress form of Hooke's law (7.2.2) and express the stresses in terms of the strain
components.

= ,

[3] ,

The first follows directly from [3].

⇒ .

The other two, from [1] and [2]:

Using the results from Exercise 7-6, eliminate the stresses from the plane stress equilibrium
equations and develop Navier equations (7.2.5). Also, formally establish the Beltrami-Michell
equation (7.2.7).

= =

= .✔

And similarly for the second equation.

Problem 7.15
Explicitly develop the governing equations (7.5.4) in terms of the Airy function for plane strain and
plane stress.

No thank you. What would I gain from digging through another avalanche of basic algebraic
manipulations?

✔Problem 8.1
Show that the fourth-order polynomial Airy stress function will not satisfy
the biharmonic equation unless .

= ;

= ;

= .

=0= =0.✔

✔Problem 8.2
Show that the Airy function

solves the following cantilever beam problem, as shown in the following figure. As usual for such
problems, boundary conditions at the ends (x=0 and L) should be formulated only in terms of the
resultant force system, while at y = ±c the exact pointwise specification should be used. For the case
with N=0, compare the elasticity stress field with the corresponding results from strength of materials
theory. Answer:

This is zero along top and bottom, y = ±c.

At (x=0 and L), ; .

V = -P; M=-P x; b = 1; h=2d; A = b h = 2 c; I = 1/12 b h ^3 = 2/3 c^3.

Problem 8.6
I wish I had time for this one, but a dump truck took down the power, phone, and cable lines to my
house this morning, while I was working on this assignment. It took until after lunch to straighten
that out, and I only got this far in the time remaining.
