VI 167 ON HARDNESS 2 ap K₂(1+20₂) dz In the first place, this system satisfies the equations of equilibrium, for we have ▼² + (1 + 20₁) до, дүгП, 2 22P + = 0, მა d.x K₁ Əzəx 1 and similar equations hold for 2, 71, 72; for the 's we get the same result, remembering that 2P = 0. For the tangential stress components at the surface (0) we find, leaving out the indices:- = 0, = X, K - ૦૬ × ૦૬ a +ǝz дх ƏºII ӘР 72P = K2. +29 = 2z дъл Jx Əxəz =3 = - K(2 a²II ӘР +29 ǝyǝz да a²P = 22 = дудъ Y--K(+)- Əy as the second condition requires. 0, It is more troublesome to prove that the third condition is satisfied. We again omit indices, as the calculation applies equally to both bodies.
