Two Jointed Semi-Infinite Planes Loaded by a Concentrated Moment or Doublet

Abstract

The problem treated is that of two jointed semi-infinite plates subjected to a concentrated moment or doublet acting in x-direction or y-direction, and it is ascertained that the former results coincide to the results that are introduced from the later two results. The elastic properties of these two semi-infinite plates are different from each other, and a case of perfect bond and one of smooth joint are treated. Explicit formulas are given for the stress components in Cartesian corrdinates and some numerical calculations and photoelastic experiments are worked out and compared.
