Abstract: A modified mixed variational principle is established for a class of problems with one spatial variable as the independent variable. The specific applications are on the three-dimensional deformation ...

Abstract: Our earlier technique for a semi-infinite strip (Kim and Steele, 1990) is extended to study general end problems and corner singularities for semi-infinite and finite solid cylinders with free ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric end problems of longitudinal wave propagation are studied in a semi-infinite isotropic solid circular cylinder which is free of traction on its cylindrical surface. An accurate and ...

Abstract: Modified series expansions are used to study semi-infinite isotropic elastic strip problems for general end conditions and corner singularities. The solutions of strips with mixed lateral edges ...

Abstract: The present work is a part of the effort toward the development of an efficient method of solution to handle general nonsymmetric time-harmonic end conditions in a cylinder with a traction-free ...
