The constants of integration are determined from the boundary conditions.
6.9.1 Solid Disc
For a solid disc, it is required to take C 1 = 0, otherwise, the stresses σ r and σ θ
become infinite at the centre. The constant C is determined from the condition at the
periphery (r = b) of the disc. If there are no forces applied, then
