Elasticity in Aerostructures

The document discusses methods for solving plane elasticity problems, including: - Using equilibrium, strain-displacement, and compatibility equations with 8 unknowns to solve for stresses and strains - Defining an Airy stress function to satisfy the equilibrium equations automatically and reduce the compatibility equation - Solving examples using the Airy stress function approach by checking the biharmonic equation, finding stresses from the function, and applying boundary conditions - Noting that the Airy function method provides a way to solve for stresses within a region given the traction boundary conditions

Airy Stress Function (No body forces, i.e. Bx = By = 0) 1) Write compatibility equations, in terms of stresses, using Hookes Law. Then youll get 3 equations (2 equilibrium equations and 1 compatibility equation) and 3 unknowns (x , y, xy) 2) Define Airy stress function by:

Equilibrium equations are automatically satisfied by the Airy stress function. Compatibility equation reduces to:

The Airy solution in rectangular coordinates The Airy function procedure can then be summarized as follows: 1. Begin by finding a scalar function satisfies: (known as the Airy potential) which

Where 2. Given

are the components of a unit vector normal to the boundary? , the stress field within the region of interest can be calculated from the

formula 3. If the strains are needed, they may be computed from the stresses using the elastic stress strain relations. If the displacement field is needed, it may be computed by integrating the strains, following the procedure described in Section 2.1.20. An example (in polar coordinates) is given in Section 5.2.4 below.

Although it is easier to solve for

than it is to solve for stress directly, this is still not a

trivial exercise. Usually, one guesses a suitable form for , as illustrated below. This may seem highly unsatisfactory, but remember that we are essentially integrating a system of PDEs. The general procedure to evaluate any integral is to guess a solution, differentiate it, and see if the guess was correct.
