An approximate solution of the problem on quasistatic thermal stresses in a thin plate of a certain noncanonical shape

Making use of L. V. Kantorovich's variational approach and of the methods of the analytic theory of differential equations, one determines the stresses in a thin plate, bounded by two arbitrary curves and two parallel straight lines.Translated from Matematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, No. 25, pp. 36–40, 1987.
