Effects of non-homogeneity in respect of rigidity have been computed in the case of a gravitating sphere with a rigid core. For an isotropic spherical shell the effect of variation of rigidity has been calculated when the shell is under pressure or when the shell is subjected to some steady temperature on its internal surface. © 1973 Birkhäuser-Verlag.

On the effect of non-homogeneity

Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH

Small strain theory has been applied to find out the deformation and stresses in the interior of the earth considered as a self-gravitating non-homogeneous isotropic sphere of heterogeneous density distribution. Stresses have been compared at different layers due to different desity distributions. © 1972 Birkhäuser-Verlag.
