This general solution forms a reliable and new starting point to get further in stress calculations than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor horizontally isotropic homogeneous tabular iceberg models, even mathematically exact unambiguous solutions of all relevant conditions are presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Halfar \u003c\/b\u003eis a theoretical physicist.
