Abstract

The problem of a thin elastic plate in the form of Pascal's limacon under concentrated forces at the extremeties of its axis has been solved by using complex variable technique. The solution has been obtained in a closed form. Stress components have been found out. In particular, the solution of an elastic circular plate and that of a plate in the form of a cardioid have been discussed. The variation of stress-intensity factor has been studied.
