The preceding sections demonstrated that the solution of two-dimensional problems in elasticity requires integration of the differential equations of equilibrium [Eqs. (3.6)], together with the compatibility equation [Eq. (3.9) or (3.12)] and the boundary conditions [Eqs. (3.7)]. In the event that the body forces Fx and Fy are negligible, these equations reduce to
Equation a
