Abstract: The accuracy of boundary-element methods for computing Stokes flow past boundaries with sharp corners where singularities occur is discussed. To resolve the singular behavior, a graded mesh of ...

Abstract: The linear von Kármán equation describing the buckling of an elastic flat plate due to a distributed deformation-dependent load is discussed. It is shown that, in the case of buckling ...

Abstract: The elastic instability of a circular plate adhering to an elastic foundation modeling the exposed surface of a biological cell resting on the cell interior is considered. Plate buckling occurs ...
