description: In the present contribution, the mathematical analogy existing between the singular stress field in elasticity due to antiplane loading and the singular electromagnetic fields in electromagnetism is derived with reference to the problem of isotropic multi-material wedges. These  configurations, where dissimilar sectors converge to the same vertex, are very commonly observed in composite materials and may lead to stress-singularities. The proposed analogy permits to extend several elastic solutions already available in the literature to the analogous electromagnetic problems, without the need of performing new calculations.
