      abstract = {In this book, for the first time, a hitherto unknown  general solution of the reliably known stress conditions is  presented. This general solution forms a reliable and new  starting point to get further in stress calculations than  before. In this way, approximately realistic solutions can  be found despite a recurring problem: the information  deficits that are unavoidable due to the difficulty of  exploring glaciers. This issue is demonstrated by the  example of stagnating glaciers. For horizontally isotropic  homogeneous tabular iceberg models, even mathematically  exact unambiguous solutions of all relevant conditions are  presented. All calculations use only elementary arithmetic  operations, differentiations and integrations. The  mathematical fundamentals are presented in detail and  explained in many application examples. The integral  operators specific to calculations of stresses facilitate  the mathematical considerations. The stand-alone text  allows the reader to understand what is involved even  without considering the formulas. The author Peter Halfar  is a theoretical physicist. He also developed a model of  the movement of large ice caps (1983), which is still in  use today. This book is a translation of an original German  edition. The translation was done with the help of  artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily  in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
