= Michell solution
{wiki=Michell_solution}
The Michell solution is a specific analytical solution to the problem of elasticity in two-dimensional linear elasticity, particularly used to describe the stress and displacement fields in a linear elastic medium under the influence of point forces or concentrated loads. Named after the Australian engineer A. E. H. Michell, the solution is applied to study problems involving singularities such as cracks or points of load application in materials.
