Abstract: A system of suitable stress-strain relations as well as equations of equilibrium are derived and solved for the torsion of sandwich plates of trapezoidal cross section. The facings are treated ...

Abstract: A method for the solution of three-dimensional elasticity equations is presented and is applied to the problem of thick plates. Through this method three governing differential equations, the ...

Abstract: The accuracy of the characteristic roots obtained from solving a pair of complex conjugate fourth-order differential equations which govern the deformation of circular cylindrical shells is studied. ...

Abstract: Presented herein is a method for transforming Navier's equations of elasticity to three biharmonic equations for elastostatic problems and wave equations for elastodynamic problems. The method of deduction is much simpler ...

Abstract: The subject of this analysis is a homogeneous, isotropic, and elastic spherical dome of uniform thickness subjected to prescribed edge stresses at the end surface. Starting from three-dimensional ...

Abstract: The stress distribution in a plane scarf joint, which may have an arbitrary angle of scarf as well as arbitrary elastic parameters for its adherends and adhesive, is analyzed. The analysis ...

Abstract: This paper incorporates an analysis of the stability of orthotropic or isotropic cylindrical shells subjected to external pressure applied over all or part of their surfaces. An eighth-order ...

Abstract: Because of the technical importance and difficulty of the analysis, the present problem has been treated, as seen in the literature, by a number of authors. In the current paper a unified ...

Abstract: An improved elasticity solution for the cylinder problem with axisymmetric torsionless end loading is presented. Consideration is given to the specification of arbitrary stresses on the end of ...
