Abstract: Analytical methods are developed for treating steady-state axisymmetric thermoelastic problems defined in bispherical coordinates. Possible geometrical configurations include the infinite space with ...

Abstract: Boussinesq-Papkovich potentials are used in conjunction with the bispherical co-ordinate system to analyze three problems in the classical theory of linear elasticity: (a) The extension of the ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional effects of symmetrically compressing an O-ring with rigid plates are investigated. The O-ring is assumed to be an incompressible elastic material and the mixed boundary value ...

Abstract: Results of the thermoelastic analysis of an infinite elastic medium containing two arbitrary-sized spherical cavities with arbitrary separation distance are presented graphically. Of particular ...
