Abstract:

We present a comprehensive study on stress propagation in a two-dimensional circular disk and a three-dimensional sphere under diametric loading.
We employ a scalar and vector potential approach to accurately describe the displacement and stress fields within these geometries, representing the solutions as expansions in terms of Bessel functions.
The coefficients of these expansions are determined in the Laplace space by systematically satisfying the boundary conditions.
Using residue calculus, we transform the inverse Laplace solutions into explicit expressions for the displacement and stress fields.
These expressions reveal the contributions of primary, secondary, and surface waves, offering a detailed characterization of stress propagation phenomena within the disk and sphere.
Our findings deepen the understanding of the mechanical behavior of disk- and sphere-shaped components, providing valuable insights for their design and optimization across various engineering applications.
