Stress and Displacement Fields for an Anisotropic Elliptical Disk Subjected to Arbitrary Loads at the Boundary.

Abstract

Very few studies on an anisotropic elliptical or circular disk have been carried out because of difficulties caused by the anisotropy. The present paper shows the analytical solutions and gives the distributions not only of the stress but also of the displacements obtained by using Lekhnitskii's complex variable method. The disk is assumed to be affected by the arbitrarily distributed loads such as concentrated force and hydraulic pressure. Some numerical results are shown by graphical representation.
