Abstract: A finite strip compressed between two rough rigid stamps is considered. The elastostatic problem is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation from which the proper stress singularities ...

Abstract: A semi-infinite strip held rigidly on its short end is considered. Loads in the strip at infinity (far away from the fixed end) are prescribed. Integral transform technique is used to provide ...

Abstract: The contact problem of an elastic stiffener bonded to an elastic half plane with different mechanical properties is considered. The governing integral equation is reduced to an infinite system ...

Abstract: The following load transfer problems are considered in this paper: torque transfer between an elastic shaft and a finite elastic disk or sleeve of different materials, torque transfer between ...

Abstract: The elastostatic plane problem of an infinite strip containing two symmetrically located internal cracks perpendicular to the boundary is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation with ...

Abstract: The buckling rules for nuclear components in elevated temperature service have been recently modified by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committee. The specific modifications and some ...

Abstract: An integral equation approach is presented for the generation of seismic power spectral density functions from specified response spectra. First, the problem of generating the response spectrum ...
