Stationary Problems of Moisture-Elasticity for Inhomogeneous Thick-Walled Shells

Abstract

This paper contains a solution of the problem of determining stress state in clay soil near a cylindrical and spherical cavities for the propagation of the moisture out of the cavity into the solid mass. The problem is solved in a stationary symmetric formulation taking into account changes the modulus of elasticity of soil moisture. The problem is reduced to a differential equation with variable coefficients. This complicates the solution of the problem compared with the solutions for constant modulus of elasticity, but it provides a more accurate solution.
