Summary
Exact solutions are obtained in the framework of the classical theory of laminates subjected to the action of normal moments, double forces, double moments or momentless double dipoles. Seven cases of such loads are considered and completed by considering the case of given transversal discontinuity of normal deflection. It is shown that, in contrast to the case of infinite straight dislocations in a pure in-plane problem, the energy of this eighth solution depends on the discontinuity orientation. Some numerical examples are presented. Besides the formal value, the obtained double-force and double-moment solutions, as well as dimensionless double dipoles, can be used to construct kernels of additional boundary integral equations (BIE). Due to the coupling phenomena in the BIE system for the region with a corner point, additional variable such as corner forces appear and require the mentioned equation.
