Abstract

The plane stress linear elastic solution to the problem of a circular disk embedded in a ring fitted into a uniaxially loaded infinite plate is solved using Airy stress functions. This exact solution is validated by reduction to the benchmark solutions: plate without hole, plate with a circular hole, plate with a circular inclusion, and plate with a ring inclusion. Numerical results of stress distribution are presented for changing material properties.
