Abstract: The present paper is concerned with the application of integral equation techniques to problems in plane orthotropic elasticity. Two approaches for solving such problems are outlined, both of ...

Abstract: Well-known methods exist for the solution of problems involving axisymmetric loading of thin circular plates. Unfortunately, these methods result in rather tedious algebraic and numerical work ...

Abstract: The nonlinear response and stability of a vibrating, buckled beam is analyzed using a form-function approximation. Such an approximation differs from the usual linear series approximations in ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for the formation of chips in a two-dimensional, isotropic, elastic-brittle solid, due to the penetration of a rigid wedge. The analysis can be viewed in three parts. ...
