It follows directly from (4.14)–(4.17), (4.73) and (4.74) that
In addition, it follows from (4.17), (4.73) and (4.74) that
It is easily shown that the stress field automatically satisfies the equilibrium equations (4.20)–(4.22) for any values of the parameters A, α and β.
The following continuity conditions must be satisfied at the interface r = a between fibre and matrix
It then follows from (4.76) that
and from (4.72) that
The substitution of (4.80) into (4.79) then leads to
4.4.2 Solution in the Absence of Fibre
For loading conditions characterised by the shear stress τ applied to an infinite sample of matrix in the absence of fibre (filling the entire region of space), the solution is given by
A comparison of (4.72) and (4.82) with (4.77) and (4.83) indicates that the identification α=τ/2 can be made. It then follows from (4.81) that
Substitution into (4.72) leads to the following expression for the displacement component uz:
