Abstract: It is shown that a perfectly straight bar, subjected to a state of uniform shear stress, will buckle, in a manner similar to a column under compression, if the shear stress exceeds a certain ...

Abstract: A new boundary equation method is presented for analyzing plates of arbitrary geometry. The plates may have holes and may be subjected to any type of boundary conditions. The boundary value ...

Abstract: In this investigation the boundary integral equation (BIE) method with numerical evaluation of the boundary integral equations is developed for analyzing clamped plates of any shape resting on ...

Abstract: In this investigation the boundary integral equation (BIE) method with numerical evaluation of the boundary integral equations is applied to the analysis of simply supported plates of any shape, resting on an elastic ...

Abstract: A method is presented, employing Flügge and Donnel type theories, for obtaining the dynamic characteristics of cylindrical panels of noncircular cross section, having simply supported curved edges and any boundary conditions ...

Abstract: In this investigation, a series solution for the deflection and the stress resultants of shallow shells of any geometry with a rectangular projection is obtained in terms of beam functions on the basis of the Marguerre ...

Abstract: In this investigation, a method presented in a previous paper is applied to the following types of shallow shells: (1) Elliptic paraboloid; (2) hyperolic paraboloid; (3) hypar; (4) conoidal parabolic; and (5) soap bubble. ...

Abstract: In this investigation, the general frequency equation for trains of harmonic waves having an arbitrary number of circumferential nodes, traveling in orthotropic, circular, cylindrical shells is ...
