Abstract This paper contains a solution in series form for the stress distribution in an infinite elastic medium which possesses two spherical cavities of the same size. The loading consists of tractions applied to the cavities, as well as of a uniform field of tractions at infinity, and both are assumed to be symmetric with respect to the common axis of symmetry of the cavities and with respect to the plane of geometric symmetry perpendicular to this axis. The loading is otherwise unrestricted. The solution is based upon the Boussinesq stress-function approach and apparently constitutes the first application of spherical dipolar co-ordinates in the theory of elasticity. Numerical evaluations are given for the case in which the surfaces of the cavities are free from tractions and the stress field at infinity is hydrostatic. The results illustrate the interference of two sources of stress concentration in a three-dimensional problem. The approach used here may be extended to cope with the general equilibrium problem for a region bounded by two nonconcentric spheres.

Abstract This study addresses the elastic response of a submerged plate coated with multiple layers of elastomeric materials. of interest is the extent at which the mechanism of interaction between dissimilar elastomers can be modified through selection of material properties. Such modification can optimize the received signal response at the sensors in the presence of a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) as well as provide insight into advantageous TBL and structure-borne vibration decoupling configurations. The analytical model is an infinite multilayer composite of steel and viscoelastic materials separating the semi-infinite media of water (external) and air (internal). The theory of elasticity expedites the analysis of elastic response, governed by dilatational and shear motion, in each layer. The analysis considers excitation by an incident plane wave in addition to a fully developed TBL both in the water medium. A series of numerical simulations based on material properties of well-characterized elastomers quantify the degree at which this coupling mechanism can be optimized in applications of noise and vibration reduction.
