The influence of friction on the stress field of the Brazilian disc test: An experimental and theoretical analysis

A theoretical solution is proposed here for the determination of the stress field developed in an intact Brazilian disc in presence of tangential forces, based on the method of complex potentials introduced by Kolosov and Muskhelishvili. It is concluded that the influence of friction is negligibl...
