Abstract
The present note tabulates the generalized solution to Mindlin–Airy potential in couple stress elasticity; counterpart to Airy stress potential in classical elasticity. Subsequently stress, couple stress and displacement components are compiled in polar co-ordinates. The utility of the developed tables is demonstrated through solution to two boundary value problems on circular domains in couple stress elasticity.

Notes
In [12], Eqs. (A9–A12) representing \(\lbrace \sigma _{yy}, \sigma _{xx}, \sigma _{yx}, \sigma _{xy} \rbrace \) should be appended with \(\lbrace Tr_1, -Tr_1, Tr_2, Tr_2 \rbrace \) respectively where \(Tr_1 = \mu b \cos \theta \sin ^2 \theta \Bigl [-8(\ell /r)^2 +\lbrace 4+(r/\ell )^2 \rbrace K_2(r/\ell ) \Bigr ]/(\pi r)\) and \(Tr_2 = \mu b \sin \theta \cos (2\theta ) K_1(r/\ell )/(\pi \ell )\).
