Abstract: This paper is concerned with the mechanism of ice-lifting from a flat surface through penetration of the interface by means of a sharp blade. We first considered a static case in which the ...

Abstract: A method is described whereby the limit pressure may be determined for a radial juncture of a cylindrical vessel and a spherical vessel, assuming quasi-rigid plastic behavior. The limit pressure ...

Abstract: This investigation examines the planar, linear vibration of a deep arch that is described by a simply supported elastica. The arch is formed from an elastic rod that buckles nonlinearly under ...

Abstract: This paper examines the free and forced linear response of a string which is translating across an elastic foundation. Exact solutions are derived for the free vibration of the string which ...

Abstract: A solution is obtained for an infinitely long cantilever plate supported from an elastic half space. The junction conditions between the elasticity approach for the half space and the classical ...
