Abstract:The gradient model of stochastically inhomogeneous media is used to study the stress concentration around a circular hole in a two-component elastic composite. The study is based on a general solution of the system of equilibrium equations expressed in terms of harmonic functions and functions that satisfy the Helmholtz equation. This solution is used to solve problems for an infinite plane with a circular hole under uniform and uniaxial tension. The results obtained are compared with the solutions found using… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
