Stress Function For Axisymmetric Problem1

The document discusses the stress function method for solving axisymmetric problems in polar coordinates. It presents the equations relating stress components to the Airy stress function in both Cartesian and polar coordinates. For axisymmetric cases, the biharmonic equation in polar coordinates is simplified by setting the partial derivative with respect to θ equal to zero, resulting in an equation showing that Φ is a stress function.

Stress function for axisymmetric problems

In order to solve problems in polar coordinates using the stress function method equations relating the
stress components to the Airy stress function in Cartesian coordinates can be transformed to polar
coordinates.
The stress components are written in the form (xy is xy)

In polar coordinates stress components are (r is r)

For axisymmetric problems stress components are

The biharmonic equation in polar coordinates is given by

For axisymmetric case, setting / = 0 , leads to

0R

..equation to show is a stress function
