Stress concentration in the moment theory of elasticity

A multimoment theory of elasticity of inhomogeneous media is used to develop algorithms for determining a sequence of essentially independent fundamental parameters associated with the structure, composition, and characteristics of the medium components. The general form of stress concentration factors is established by analyzing specific models of media. It is found that the mean tangential stresses in a fibrous medium with a transverse stress state are asymmetric. As an example, the methods are used to solve specific problems for plates and shells __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 1, pp. 66–76, January 2007.
