Explicit Solutions in Isotropic Planar Elastostatics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the field of plane elasticity, complexities arising from geometric properties and applied forces often present substantial challenges to existing methods. Some specific situations where these limitations emerge are when considering problems with a non-vanishing traction, non-zero forces of specific forms, and ring-shaped domains. This paper addresses these issues by developing an approach that leverages established knowledge of the Neumann problem for the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann problem. We propose an integral representation method for solutions applicable to domains that can be conformally mapped from a unit disk or an annulus. We demonstrate the practicality and applicability of this method through specific examples, including a notch problem in a cardioid domain, a ring domain with shifted hole, and gear-like domain. We hope the techniques presented in this work will find themselves useful for people working on isotropic planar elastostatics problems.
