Michell Solution
The Michell solution is a general solution to the elasticity equations in polar coordinates . The solution is such that the stress components are in the form of a Fourier series in .
Michell showed that the general solution can be expressed in terms of an Airy stress function of the form
The terms and define a trivial null state of stress and are ignored.
