Abstract
Polar coördinates (r, θ) are particularly suited to problems in which the boundaries can be expressed in terms of equations like r = a, θ = α. This includes the stresses in a circular disk or around a circular hole, the curved beam with circular boundaries and the wedge, all of which will be discussed in this and subsequent chapters.
