Abstract: Recently Solecki (1996) has shown that a differential equation for vibration of a rectangular plate with a cutout can be reduced to boundary integral equations. This was accomplished by filling ...

Abstract: This study develops a new accurate method for finding the natural vibration frequencies of plates with cutouts. The method is based on replacing the plate with a cutout by a rectangular plate. ...

Abstract: This paper describes symmetric, frictionless indentation of a two-dimensional, rectangular, elastic solid, with two parallel edges constrained against displacements, by a flat, rigid, or rounded ...

Abstract: Harmonic vibrations of a circular, cylindrical shell of rectangular planform and with an arbitrarily located crack, are investigated. The problem is described by Donnell’s equations and solved ...

Abstract: Frictionless static contact between two layered elastic cylinders is examined. Local curvature of the the contacting surfaces is taken into account. Green’s function is derived and utilized to ...
