Abstract
The intent of this expository paper is to draw the attention of the applied mathematics community to an interesting two-dimensional mathematical model arising in solid mechanics involving a single second-order linear or quasi-linear partial differential equation. This model has the virtue of relative mathematical simplicity without loss of essential physical relevance. Anti-plane shear deformations are one of the simplest classes of deformations that solids can undergo. In anti-plane shear (or longitudinal shear, generalized shear) of a cylindrical body, the displacement is parallel to the generators of the cylinder and is independent of the axial coordinate. Thus anti-plane shear, with just a single scalar axial displacement field, may be viewed as complementary to the more complicated (yet perhaps more familiar) plane strain deformation, with its two in-plane displacements. In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the analysis of anti-plane shear deformations within the context of variou...
