, is the Airy stress function. Assuming no body forces obtain

biharmonic equation.
3. Write down the modified Hookes law for 2D plane stress/strain for a material that undergoes thermal
expansion? Use a to denote the thermal expansion coefficient of the material. Obtain the state of
stress in a disk with the boundary conditions u(a) =0, u(b) = 0 but subject to a constant temperature
change T.
