This project deals with a class of linearly elastic material bodies of a special shape, namely, the cuspidate prismatic shell-like bodies introduced by I. Vekua, studied in the framework of Vekua’s 0-order approximation theory. It is shown per exempla that, when such bodies are subject to concentrated boundary loads, internal concentrated contact interactions may arise.
