requirement for uniqueness of displacements <strong>and</strong> the pressure boundary conditions<br />

for the problem. It can be shown that uniqueness of displacements requires B = 0,<br />

<strong>and</strong> that the stress components are then given by<br />

A = a2b2 (pi − po)<br />

(b2 − a2 )<br />

2C = pob2 − pia2 (b2 − a2 )<br />

In these expressions, a <strong>and</strong> b are the inner <strong>and</strong> outer radii of the cylinder, <strong>and</strong> pi<br />

<strong>and</strong> po are the pressures applied to its inner <strong>and</strong> outer surfaces.<br />

For problems involving two-dimensional geometry <strong>and</strong> biaxial stress, the most<br />

elegant solution of the biharmonic equation is obtained in terms of complex variable<br />

theory. The topic is discussed in some detail by Jaeger <strong>and</strong> Cook (1979). Briefly, it is<br />

shown that the Airy stress function may be expressed as the real part of two analytic<br />
