Some explicit solutions to plane equilibrium problem for no-tension bodies
Massimiliano Lucchesi and Nicola Zani
Abstract
A method is presented to integrate explicitly certain equilibrium problems for no-tension bodies, in absence of body forces and under the assumption that two of the principal stresses are everywhere null. The method is exemplified in the case of rectangular panels, clamped at their bottoms and loaded at their tops.
Key Words
no-tension materials; pressureless gasses; explicit solutions.
