ABSTRACT
This paper deals with equilibrium problems for solids made of elastic materials of bounded tensile strength and for which exact solutions are achieved. A constitutive equation is adopted and its main properties with regard to uniqueness of the solution to boundary problems are also analyzed. Four distinct equilibrium problems are then considered. The first three are characterized by specific symmetry conditions—polar, spherical, and cylindrical, respectively.
