The contact problem of an elastic stiffener bonded to an elastic half plane with different mechanical properties is considered. The governing integral equation is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations. It is shown that, depending on the value of a parameter which is a function of the elastic constants and the thickness of the stiffener, the system is either regular or quasi-regular. A complete numerical example is given for which the strength of the stress singularity and the contact stresses are tabulated.

In Noble's book The Wiener Hopf Technique, Pergamon, 1958, he considers the coupled system of Wiener–Hopf equations (§4.4, pp. 153–154)[Formula: see text]He shows that provided the functions L(α), M(α), Q(α), and R(α) have only simple pole singularities the solution can be reduced to two sets of infinite simultaneous linear algebraic equations. In this article a different approach is used which gives the solution in the form of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. This Fredholm integral equation can be reduced to infinite sets of simultaneous linear algebraic equations under the less restrictive conditions that either (i) L(α)/M(α) has no branch points in the lower α-half plane: Im(α) < τ+; or (ii) Q(α)/R(α) has no branch points in the upper α-half plane: Im(α) > τ−. In the special case considered by Noble if L(α)/M(α) (or Q(α)/R(α)) only have simple poles in the lower (upper) half plane then the Fredholm integral equation reduces to one infinite set of simultaneous equations. This extends the Wiener–Hopf technique to yet a larger class of boundary value problems, and simplifies the numerical computations.

AbstractA method of approximate solution of the linear one-dimensional Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is constructed. With the help of the Steklov averaging operator the integral equation is approximated by a system of linear algebraic equations. On the basis of the approximation used an increased order convergence solution has been obtained.

An improved elasticity solution for the cylinder problem with axisymmetric torsionless end loading is presented. Consideration is given to the specification of arbitrary stresses on the end of a semi-infinite cylinder with a stress-free lateral surface. As is known from the literature, the solution to this problem is obtained in the form of a nonorthogonal eigenfunction expansion. Previous solutions have utilized functions biorthogonal to the eigenfunctions to generate an infinite system of linear algebraic equations for determination of the unknown expansion coefficients. However, this system of linear equations has matrices which are not diagonally dominant. Consequently, numerical instability of the calculated eigenfunction coefficients is observed when the number of equations kept before truncation is varied. This instability has an adverse effect on the convergence of the calculated end stresses. In the current paper, a new Galerkin formulation is presented which makes this system of equations diagonally dominant. This results in the precise calculation of the eigenfunction coefficients, regardless of how many equations are kept before truncation. By consideration of a numerical example, the present solution is shown to yield an accurate calculation of cylinder stresses and displacements.

AbstractThe principal result of this paper states sufficient conditions for the convergence of the solutions of certain linear algebraic equations to the solution of a (linear) singular integral equation with Cauchy kernel. The motivation for this study has been the need to provide a convergence theory for a collocation method applied to the singular integral equation taken over the arc (−1, 1). However, much of the analysis will be applicable both to other approximation methods and to singular integral equations taken over other arcs or contours. An estimate for the rate of convergence is also given.

The paper presents solutions of two contact problems for the annular plate die on an elastic half-space under the action of axisymmetrically applied force and moment. Such problems usually arise in the calculation of rigid foundations with the sole of the annular shape in chimneys, cooling towers, water towers and other high-rise buildings on the wind load and the load from its own weight. Both problems are formulated in the form of triple integral equations, which are reduced to one integral equation by the method of substitution. In the case of the axisymmetric problem, the kernel of the integral equation depends on the product of three Bessel functions. Using the formula to represent two Bessel functions in the form of a double row on the works of hypergeometric functions Bessel function, the problem reduces to a functional equation that connects the movement of the stamp with the unknown coefficients of the distribution of contact stresses. The resulting functional equation is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, which is solved by truncation. Under the action of a moment on the annular plate  die, the distribution of contact stresses is searched as a series by the products of the Legendre attached functions with a weight corresponding to the features in the contact stresses at the die edges. Using the spectral G. Ya. Popov ratio for the ring plate, the problem is again reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, which is also solved by the truncation method. Two examples of calculations for an annular plate die on an elastic half-space on the action of axisymmetrically applied force and moment are given. A comparison of the results of calculations on the proposed approach with the results for the round stamp and for the annular  stamp with the solutions of other authors is made.


The problem of diffraction of a vertical electric dipole field on a spiral conductive sphere and a cone has been solved. By the method of regularization of the matrix operator of the problem, an infinite system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind with a compact matrix operator in Hilbert space $\ell_2$ is obtained. Some limiting variants of the problem statement are considered.

They work out various kinds of breast-walls in which tyres are threaded on the columns deepened into the ground. The space between the internal surfaces of tyres and external surfaces of columns is filled with compressed ground or cement-ground. Using Vlasov–Leontyev combined model they consider the problem of contact interaction of round elements of mentioned constructions with elastic padding at the contact. Basing on the method of Furie rows for solution of contact problems they get endless system of linear algebraic equations of Furie coefficients. As a result of solution of contact problem they find wanted values of deformation and contact pressure

A scheme is constructed for the numerical solution of a singular integral equation with a logarithmic kernel by the method of orthogonal polynomials. The proposed schemes for an approximate solution of the problem are based on the representation of the solution function in the form of a linear combination of the Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials and spectral relations that allows to obtain simple analytical expressions for the singular component of the equation. The expansion coefficients of the solution in terms of the Chebyshev polynomial basis are calculated by solving a system of linear algebraic equations. The results of numerical experiments show that on a grid of 20 –30 points, the error of the approximate solution reaches the minimum limit due to the error in representing real floating-point numbers.

The stationary periodical problem of a vibrating rectangular plate, stressed at a segment while fixed elsewhere at one of its edges, is considered. Using the finite Fourier transformation, the problem is converted to a singular integral equation that in turn can be reduced to an infinite system of algebraic equations. The truncation of the algebraic system is justified.

We consider quasi-static contact problem on frictional heating on a sliding contact of a rotating rigid cylinder and a half-plane. The cylinder is pressed towards the half-plane material. The problem is reduced to solution of a singular integral equation with respect to contact stresses. Solution of the singular equation is looked for in a class of functions limited on the edge, with two additional conditions to determine timedependent boundaries of the contact area. Temperature at the contact and inside the half-plane is determined in terms of contact stresses.
