Abstract

SummaryThe theory of Cosserats' couple-stresses is briefly described in a cartesian system of coordinates, and is applied to the problem of stress distribution in a semi-infinite medium which possesses a non-homogeneous elastic property of an exponential type. Effects of couple-stresses on the stress concentration factors are determined both in homogeneous and non-homogeneous materials.
