Why does the DSolve not solve the PDE giving the 'Arbitrary functions'?

Hello, I have two PDEs (strainDisp11 & strainDisp22) in 2 variables x1 and x2. strainDisp11 is a PDE with the partial differential term in x1 whereas, strainDisp22 is a PDE with the partial differential term in x2 I am trying to solve these two PDEs separately using DSolve (Last two command lines in the attached file), however, the solution is not generated along with the required arbitrary functions C1[1] which should be f1[x2] and C1[1] which should be f2[x1] in the respective solutions of the PDEs. Attached is Notebook for your reference. Appreciate your help.

A Tip:

Don't use Subscript , because causes problems.

Hello,

I have two PDEs in 2 variables 'r' and 'theta'. I am trying to solve these two PDEs separately using DSolve (The last two command lines in the attached file). The solution is generated as expected for the 1st PDE (Integration with respect to variable 'r'), however, the solution is not generated for the 2nd PDE (Integration with respect to 'theta'). I cannot understand why Mathematica does not solve all the terms and has replaced 'theta' by K[1] in the unsolved integral with limits? Attached is Notebook for your reference. Appreciate your help.

Maybe:

solDispRR = DSolve[strainDispRR == 0, uR, {r, \[Theta]}] // Flatten;
solDisp\[Theta]\[Theta] = 
  DSolve[strainDisp\[Theta]\[Theta] == 0, u\[Theta], {r, \[Theta]}] //
    Flatten;
uRFunctionTemp = uR[r, \[Theta]] /. solDispRR[[1]]
u\[Theta]FunctionTemp = (u\[Theta][r, \[Theta]] /. 
      solDisp\[Theta]\[Theta][[1]] /. solDispRR[[1]]) // Activate // 
  ExpandAll

Looks like MMA can't integrate, a workaround:

u\[Theta]FunctionTemp = (Integrate[#, {K[1], 
       1, \[Theta]}] & /@ (u\[Theta]FunctionTemp[[1, 1]])) + 
  u\[Theta]FunctionTemp[[2]]

 (*Integrate[-C[1][K[1]], {K[1], 1, \[Theta]}] + (2*P*\[Nu]^2*Log[r]*(Sin[1] - Sin[\[Theta]]))/(Pi*\[DoubleStruckCapitalE]) + 
  (2*P*\[Nu]*(-Sin[1] + Sin[\[Theta]]))/(Pi*\[DoubleStruckCapitalE]) + (2*P*\[Nu]^2*(-Sin[1] + Sin[\[Theta]]))/(Pi*\[DoubleStruckCapitalE]) + 
  (2*P*Log[r]*(-Sin[1] + Sin[\[Theta]]))/(Pi*\[DoubleStruckCapitalE]) + C[1][r]*)

In this line:

Integrate[-C[1][K[1]], {K[1], 1, \[Theta]}]

what answer do you expect?

The enter image description here expression is not complicated enter image description here

So as I want the DSolve (Integration with respect to Theta) to result in three terms as follows;

enter image description here

But, I cannot understand why is MMA causing a definite integral with limits [1 to Theta], besides changing the variable 'Theta' to 'K[1]'

Actually, to not confuse... the below is problem defined as PDE enter image description hereenter image description here

The required solution for uTheta, upon Integrating with respect to Theta, we should get enter image description here
