Abstract: This paper investigates the elastic impact of a sphere on a thin plate which is in continuous contact with a foundation. The reaction pressure is considered to be proportional to the local ...

Abstract: This paper presents a static, modal solution of Flugge’s thin shell equations for the cases of a ring or a long cylinder in a state of plane strain. The solution derived here enables the ...

Abstract: In 1972 a method was presented for evaluating the added mass of fluid contained between two long co-axial cylinders. The resulting equations have been widely quoted in the literature, and the ...
