This paper investigates the stress and displacement distribution in a two-dimensional elastic hollow disk subjected to distributed diametric loading, extending our previous analysis of concentrated loading [Okamura et al. Strength Mater. 57, 102-114 (2025)]. The study provides deeper insights into the mechanical behavior of materials such as concrete and rock by examining the effects of load distribution on stress localization and displacement patterns. Using elastodynamic theory, we derive the static stress distributions and identify key differences from the concentrated loading case, particularly in the locations and magnitudes of stress extrema. This work contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of stress behavior in elastic disks under realistic loading conditions.
