Relations (4.102) and (4.104) then assert that
Relations (4.103) and (4.105) assert that
The addition and subtraction of (4.106) and (4.107) leads to the results
From (4.94) and (4.98), it follows that
It is easily shown that the stress field given by relations (4.108)–(4.110) satisfies automatically the following equilibrium equations for any values of the parameters A, B, C and D (see (2.125)–(2.127))
where use has been made of (4.99) and the fact that σzz is independent of z.
4.5.2 Stress Field in the Absence of Fibre
It follows from (4.93) and (4.108)–(4.110) that, when the matrix occupies the whole of space and is subject to a transverse shear stress τ at infinity, the resulting displacement and stress field is given by
4.5.3 Displacement and Stress Fields in Fibre
The displacement and stress fields within the fibre must be bounded as r→0 and it follows from (4.93) and (4.108)–(4.110) that
