ANTIPLANE LINE FORCE IN NONLOCAL ELASTICITY

The classical line force problem is generalized to the case of nonlocal elasticity. The analytical expressions of both the antiplane line fprce and its stress field, have been obtained. None of the classical singularities exist in the stresses. Because of the nonlocal effect, the antiplane nonlocal line force has a Gaussian distribution quile different from the distribution of the classical line force and it satisfies the generalized line force definition.
