pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Effects of non-homogeneity in respect of rigidity have been exhibited on the stresses in a gravitating sphere with a concentric homogeneous core. The effect has been computed on the stress concentration on the interface and the regions of compression and extension.
