Abstract
This paper deals with the stress distributions of an elastic thick plate subjected to torsion by a rigid circular cylinder inserted in any depth into a circular hole of the thick plate. The problem was considered in a previous paper where the stress singularity was discussed few. The stress singularity at a contact point with the bottom corner of the rigid cylinder on the cylindrical surface of the thick plate is investigated in this paper. We use a body force distribution method by a new Green functions for torsional body force problems of an infinite elastic thick plate.
