Abstract: A solution is obtained for the case in which a sem-infinite crack suddenly appears and grows at constant velocity in a stretched elastic body. The problem, one of mixed boundary values on a ...

Abstract: The Mellin transform is applied to problems of stress distribution in symmetric orthotropic wedges. Integral representations for the stresses are obtained and specialized for the fundamental problem ...

Abstract: Steady-state problems of stresses in orthotropic slabs subjected to forces and temperature distribution on the faces are solved by means of Fourier transforms. The usual direct applications in ...

Abstract: The differential equations governing the deformation of shells of revolution of uniform thickness subjected to axisymmetric self-equilibrating edge loads are transformed into a form suitable for ...
