Abstract

Formulae for the elastic stress distribution in an infinite slab due to symmetrical pressure distributions on the upper and lower faces have been given by Filon (two dimensions) and by Sneddon (axial symmetry). Few numerical values have been published except for the limiting cases of line and point loads. The stresses in the mid-plane are given here for a uniform pressure acting over circles and bands of different sizes, and the published values for a point load are shown to be wrong.
