Summary:
The presented method of integration of differential equations in elastostatics - the so-called menas-stress approach - yields a solution dependent on the elastic parameters and the topology of the body, and accordingly directly affected by Poisson's ratio: for example, the assumption of incompressibility $(v=\frac{1}{2})$ transforms its component Poisson's equation into a harmonic equation. Moreover, the solution for a multiply-connected region has to satisfy additional conditions depending inter alia on the geometry of the latter. These conditions ensure a single-valued mean normal stress.
