Using the Airy Stress Function approach, it was shown that the plane
elasticity formulation with zero body forces reduces to a single governing
biharmonic equation. In Cartesian coordinates it is given by



and the stresses are related to the stress function by



We now explore solutions to several specific problems in both
Cartesian and Polar coordinate systems
Cartesian Coordinate Solutions
Using Polynomials
In Cartesian coordinates we choose Airy stress function solution of polynomial form



where A
mn
are constant coefficients to be determined. This method produces
polynomial stress distributions, and thus would not satisfy general boundary
conditions. However, we can modify such boundary conditions using Saint-Venants
principle and replace a non-polynomial condition with a statically equivalent loading.
This formulation is most useful for problems with rectangular domains, and is
commonly based on the inverse solution concept where we assume a polynomial
solution form and then try to find what problem it will solve.
Noted that the three lowest order terms with m + n s 1 do not contribute to the
stresses and will therefore be dropped. It should be noted that second order terms
will produce a constant stress field, third-order terms will give a linear distribution of
stress, and so on for higher-order polynomials.
Terms with m + n s 3 will automatically satisfy the biharmonic equation for any
choice of constants A
mn
. However, for higher order terms, constants A
mn
will have to
be related in order to have the polynomial satisfy the biharmonic equation.

Maximum differences between the two theories exist
at top and bottom of beam, and actual difference in
stress values is w/5. For most beam problems where
l >> c, the bending stresses will be much greater than
w, and thus the differences between elasticity and
strength of materials will be relatively small.
Maximum difference between the two theories is w
and this occurs at the top of the beam. Again this
difference will be negligibly small for most beam
problems where l >> c. These results are generally true
for beam problems with other transverse loadings.

Note special singular behavior of stress field O(1/\r)
A and B coefficients are related to stress intensity factors and are useful in fracture
mechanics theory
A terms give symmetric stress fields Opening or Mode I behavior
B terms give antisymmetric stress fields Shearing or Mode II behavior
