Abstract
Existing solutions to boundary value problems arising from an elastic sphere subjected to a body force have been primarily restricted to axisymmetric, conservative loading. In this paper, a method for solving the displacement equations governing the static equilibrium of an elastic sphere subjected to an arbitrary body force and surface displacement is presented. The solutions are obtained in terms of three vector spherical harmonics and expressions for the displacement and stress fields are presented. Additionally, a short discussion indicating extension of these solutions to dynamic problems is included.
