Abstract: A higher-order boundary perturbation method (B.P.M.) is formulated to treat a class of problems defined in an elliptic domain with associated boundary conditions expressed in terms of second-order ...

Abstract: Frequencies of vibration of an elliptic plate, clamped along the edge, are determined by means of a perturbation scheme based on a boundary perturbation method (B.P.M.). Eigenvalues are obtained ...

Abstract: Warping due to torsion of closed thin-wall elastic members having constant thickness is investigated under the assumption of small strain but with arbitrary isotropic shear stress-strain laws. ...

Abstract: It is shown that the first buckling mode corresponding to the lowest buckling force of a plane monomolecular layer glued to a substrate may not be smooth. The resulting saw-like configuration ...

Abstract: Multidegree-of-freedom vibrations are considered for a rigid cylinder embedded in an isotropic elastic medium that is subjected to random propagating disturbances. The numerical results obtained ...

Abstract: An infinitely long cylindrical cavity in an infinite elastic homogeneous and isotropic medium is enveloped by a plane shock wave whose front is parallel to the axis of the cavity. The ...

Abstract: The transient response of an elastic medium to torsional line loads acting as a step function in time on the surface of an infinite cylindrical bore is obtained. The solution is seen to be ...
