Abstract: An approximate analytical solution to the problem of two-dimensional indentation of a frictionless cylinder into a thin elastic coating bonded to a rigid substrate has been obtained using the ...

Abstract: Two‐dimensional rigid‐link models have been used often in the study of elastic stability to provide insight into the behavior of engineering structures; the buckling modes of such models take only planar shapes. Many ...

Abstract: Radiation thermal effects are studied simultaneously on the orbital motion, attitude motion, and axial deformation of a very large, axially flexible space structure describing a planar pitch motion around the earth. The ...
