On the general solutions of transversely isotropic elasticity

In this paper we give the generalized Boussinesq Galerkin general solution of transversely isotropic elasticity, as well as its simplified forms in two special cases. And we prove the completeness of the Lekhnitskii-Hu-Nowacki solution and the Ellion--Lodge solution in such cases that sO, s~ and s~ are possibly equal to each other. ,fʹ) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
