An infinite elastic medium contains a perfectly bonded rigid plug and is loaded with uniform far-field biaxial stress T as shown. Using the results from Exercise 8.22, determine the stress and displacement solution. Explicitly explore the stresses on the boundary of the plug (r = a) and determine if any stress concentration will exist.

Data from exercise 8.22

Resolve Exercise 8.20 for the case where material: 

(1) Is rigid and material. 

(2) Is elastic with modulus E and Poisson’s ratio v.
