Prandtl stress function derivation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The derivation of the Prandtl stress function is essential for understanding two-dimensional stress analysis in elasticity. The discussion highlights the relationship between the Prandtl stress function and the Airy stress function, emphasizing that both are used to satisfy equilibrium equations in elasticity. Key references include the provided link to a detailed PDF on stress functions, which serves as a foundational resource for further exploration of the topic.

Can someone explain to me how the Prandtl stress function is derived? The book only briefly describes how the Airy stress function is derived.
