Abstract: Although Peng Yafei and his co-workers discovered some faults with the pseudo-stress function method suggested by Y. S. Lee in 1987, the authors did not provide convincing arguments. We investigate ...

Abstract: Based on Sternberg and Eubanks' limit definition of concentrated loads, an improved definition is proposed. The polar-symmetry example is given to show that the new definition is more ...

Abstract: The self-equilibrated end load problem for a hollow circular cylinder is considered using the Papkovitch-Neuber solution to the elastostatic displacement equations of equilibrium; both axi- and ...

Abstract: A review is given on the progress in the study of general solutions of elasticity and their applications since 1972. Apart from summarizing and remarking the development of the general solution ...
