A concentrated couple near two non-elliptical inclusions with internal uniform hydrostatic stresses (Q1742082): Difference between revisions

The authors use conformal mapping techniques to study the existence of internal uniform hydrostatic stresses inside two non-elliptical inclusions when the surrounding matrix is simultaneously subjected to a concentrated couple and remote uniform in-plane stresses. The unknown complex coefficients appearing in the corresponding mapping function can be determined analytically for a given pair of loading, one material and three geometric parameters. They also reveal that the shapes of the inclusions depend on the concentrated couple, whereas the corresponding internal uniform hydrostatic stresses do not.
