Abstract: A boundary element solution is developed for the unilateral contact problem of a thin elastic plate resting on elastic homogeneous or nonhomogeneous subgrade. The reaction of the subgrade may ...

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: A boundary element solution is developed for the analysis of thin elastic clamped plates of any shape resting on a Pasternak-type elastic foundation. The plate may have holes and it is subjected ...

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 paper a solution to the bending problem of reinforced concrete slab-and-beam structures including creep and shrinkage effect is presented. The adopted model takes into account the resulting in-plane forces and ...

Abstract: A boundary element (B.E.) solution for the Saint‐Venant torsion problem for composite cylindrical bars of arbitrary cross section is presented. The composite bar consists of a cylindrical matrix material surrounding a ...

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: An efficient boundary differential integral equation (BDIE) method is presented for the analysis of thin elastic plates with free boundaries of any shape resting on biparametric elastic foundation. The plate, which may ...

Abstract: A boundary element method (BEM) is developed for the analysis of plates of variable thickness. The plate may have arbitrary shape, and its boundary may be subjected to any type of boundary conditions. The nonuniform thickness ...
