1. Using Airy stress function solve for the stresses for the curved beam problems (a)-(c) with end
loadings.
(a)
(b) (c)
6. For the problem of a half space under uniform normal loading as shown in Figure, show
that the maximum shear stress can be expressed by
7. Consider the crack problem shown for the antiplane strain case with, u v 0 ,
w w( x, y ) The governing equation for the unknown displacement component with zero
body force is given by Laplace’s equation, which in polar coordinates reads
2 w w 2w
2 w 0
r 2 rr r 2 2
Use a separation of variables scheme with w r f ( ) where is a parameter to be
determined and f ( ) is expected to be an odd function. Show that using this solution form in
the governing equation gives the result w Ar sin( ) , where A is a constant. Next
determine the polar coordinate stress components, and show that the boundary condition of
zero stress on the crack surfaces gives n / 2, n 1,3,5... .Finally, using the arguments of
finite displacements but singular stresses at the crack tip, show that 0 1 and thus
conclude that the displacement and stress near r 0 must be of the form,
