The Stress Function in the Case Where Dynamic Loads Act on the Boundary of an Elastic Body

Abstract

Analyzing the stress distribution of an elastic body on which a dynamic load is applied has become important in relation to the reliability of machine elements. However, stress distribution has seldom been analyzed because of the lack of knowledge of the stress function including the term of inertia. This report derives an easy method which uses the complex stress function ; using this method, the stress distribution of an elastic body such as threads is determined.
