This gives:

Differences are in εyz and εxz here as there are two different
shear moduli (G23 and G13) which enter in here.

⇒Automatically satisfies equilibrium (as a stress function is
supposed to do)
Using equilibrium:
∑ Fz = 0 (out of page is positive)
gives:
−σ xz dydz + σ yz dxdz = 0

And this means:

Set:
A = x ⇒ dA = dx
∂φ
dB = dx ⇒ B = φ
∂x
and similarly for y
=0 =0
since φ = 0 in contour since φ = 0 in contour
Up to this point, all the equations [with the slight difference in stress-strain
of equations (10 - 6) and (10 - 7)] are also valid for orthotropic materials.

Solution of Equations
(now let’s go back to isotropic)
Place equations (10 - 4) and (10 - 5) into equations (10 - 6) and
(10 - 7) to get:
∂w
σ yz = Gε yz = G k x + (10 - 12)
∂y
∂w
σ xz = Gε xz = G − k y + (10 - 13)
∂x
We want to eliminate w. We do this via:
∂ ∂
{Eq. (10 - 12)} − {Eq. (10 - 13)}
∂x ∂y
to get:
∂σ yz ∂σ xz ∂2 w ∂2 w
− = G k + + k −
∂x ∂y ∂x∂y ∂y∂x
∂2φ ∂2φ
∂x 2 ∂y 2
“Let”:
φ = C1 (x 2 + y 2 − R 2 )
This satisfies φ = 0 on contour since x2 + y2 = R2 on contour
This gives:
∂2φ ∂2φ
= 2C1 = 2C1
∂x 2
∂y 2
Gk
⇒ C1 =
2
Note: (10-14) is satisfied exactly
Thus:
φ =
Gk 2
2 (
x + y 2 − R2 )
Satisfies boundary conditions and partial
differential equation exactly
Now place this into equation (10-11):
