Abstract: The problem treated is that of an infinite free plate excited symmetrically by two equal and normally opposed step point-loads on its faces. The problem is equivalent to that of the surface ...

Abstract: The present paper points out that Kromm’s [1] plane-stress solution, for compressional waves in an infinite elastic plate subjected to radial pressure in a circular hole at its center, has ...

Abstract: The problem solved is that of an infinite plate subjected to a suddenly applied concentrated transverse shear load. The solution is derived from a plate theory that incorporates, in addition ...

Abstract: Presented is an analysis of wave propagation in an infinite elastic plate or beam on an elastic foundation, based on a comparison of frequency spectra (or wave-train solutions) from the exact ...

Abstract: The equations of motion of a linear elastic solid have been used to study the propagation of transient compressional disturbances in anisotropic plates, generated by several types of surface ...

Abstract: A study is made of the problem of transient elastic wave propagation when a load is applied to one end of an infinitely long rod of arbitrary cross section. Fourier and Laplace transforms ...

Abstract: The problem treated is that of an infinite free plate with a circular cylindrical cavity subjected to a step normal displacement. The linear equations of elasticity are employed and the formal ...
