The Motion of a Heavy Cylinder over the Surface of an Anisotropic Elastic Solid

The response of an anisotropic elastic half-space to a heavycylinder moving steadily over its surface is examined. The analysisholds for the most general anisotropy in which no symmetry elementsof the material are assumed.     

A Method for the Numerical Solution of Boundary Value Problems Governed by Second-order Elliptic Systems

A method for the solution of boundary value problems governedby a system of second-order elliptic partial differential equationsis derived. The method is obtained by reducing the boundaryvalue problem to integral equations which may be solved numerically.     

A Method for the Numerical Solution of Problems Governed by Elliptic Systems in the Cut Plane

A method is derived for the numerical solution of boundary-valueproblems governed by systems of second order linear ellipticpartial differential equations in two independent variables.The boundary of the region in ²under consideration is requiredto consist of two parts. The first part is a straight cut offinite length while the second part C consists of an arbitrarycontour surrounding The solution to a particular boundary-valueproblem is expressed in terms of an integral taken around C.This integral may be evaluated numerically. The method shouldbe particularly useful for the solution of crack problems inanisotropic thermostatics and elastostatic
