Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A simple method is shown for computing the Airy stress function for two-dimensional problems. The method is applied to a simple mechanics example and to large computer-generated atomic models whose properties are independent of some coordinate z. The method has recently proved useful for analyzing topological defects in computer-generated models of amorphous solids.
