Abstract: | The problem of the bending of a Kirchhoff-Love plate in the shape of a strip under the impression of a thin linear rigid inclusion fastened at one of the edges of the plate when the other edge of the plate is rigidly clamped is considered. The problem is reduced by a Fourier integral transform to the solution of a convolution-type integral equation of the first kind in a finite segment with a regular kernel. The exact inversion of the principal part of the corresponding integral operator is constructed in the class of functions with non-integrable singularities on the segment edges. An effective asymptotic solution is given for the integral equation under investigation in this class of functions in the whole range of variation of the characteristic parameter λ. The results obtained are verified numerically. Analogous integral equations were examined in /1, 2/. The mode of investigation is similar to that proposed in /3/. |
