Abstract
This paper shows a method of fundamental solution for two dimensional orthotropic elasticity problems. We use a fundamental solution for orthotropic solids instead of Kelvin's solution. The fundamental solutions used here are defined as a solution for the problem of an orthotropic infinite elastic plate subjected to a point body force. Stress distributions are shown for an orthotropic elastic plate with a circular hole subjected to internal pressures. The numerical results are compared with that of isotropic elastic solids.
