Abstract

This paper gives an interpretation of the layers of elastic potentials, which are used to solve elastic boundary value problems of bodies and plates (extensional case). The layers appear as physical quantities on the boundary of the complement of the original body. The insight into the physical nature of the layers allows qualitative estimates to be made for the layers near critical points on the boundary of the body or plate.

Zusammenfassung

Der Aufsatz gibt eine physikalische Interpretation der Belegungen elastischer Potentiale, wie sie zur Lösung elastischer Randwertprobleme benutzt werden. Die Belegungen erscheinen als physikalische Größen auf dem Rand des Komplements des ursprünglichen Körpers. Die Einsicht in die physikalische Natur der Belegungen gestattet qualitative Abschätzungen für die Belegungen nahe kritischen Punkten auf dem Rand des Körpers oder der Platte.
