The Michell solution is a general solution to the elasticity equations in polar coordinates ( r, \theta \,). The solution is such that the stress components are in the form of a Fourier series in \theta \, .

Michell[1] showed that the general solution can be expressed in terms of an Airy stress function of the form

\begin{align} \varphi &= A_0~r^2 + B_0~r^2~\ln(r) + C_0~\ln(r) + D_0~\theta \ & + \left(A_1~r + B_1~r^{-1} + B_1^{'}~r~\theta + C_1~r^3 + D_1~r~\ln(r)\right) \cos\theta \ & + \left(E_1~r + F_1~r^{-1} + F_1^{'}~r~\theta + G_1~r^3 + H_1~r~\ln(r)\right) \sin\theta \ & + \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \left(A_n~r^n + B_n~r^{-n} + C_n~r^{n+2} + D_n~r^{-n+2}\right)\cos(n\theta) \ & + \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \left(E_n~r^n + F_n~r^{-n} + G_n~r^{n+2} + H_n~r^{-n+2}\right)\sin(n\theta) \end{align}

The terms A_1~r~\cos\theta\, and E_1~r~\sin\theta\, define a trivial null state of stress and are ignored.

Stress components

The stress components can be obtained by substituting the Michell solution into the equations for stress in terms of the Airy stress function (in cylindrical coordinates). A table of stress components is shown below [from J. R. Barber (2002) [2]].
