Abstract An integral transform technique is used to solve a boundary-value problem in which the partial differential equation is linear but the associated boundary condition is nonlinear. A spherical cavity in an infinite acoustic medium has an elastically supported boundary such that the pressure-displacement relation on the boundary is nonlinear. The response of the boundary to a plane shock wave which progresses across the cavity and envelops it is obtained by solving two auxiliary boundary-value problems with linear boundary conditions. Using influence coefficients obtained from these solutions, a nonlinear integral equation for the response of the actual boundary is obtained. The integral equation is solved numerically for a set of parameters, and curves for the pressure-time and displacement-time responses of the boundary are presented.

An infinitely long cylindrical cavity in an infinite elastic homogeneous and isotropic medium is enveloped by a plane shock wave whose front is parallel to the axis of the cavity. The displacement and velocity fields produced by the diffraction of the wave by the cavity are determined by means of an integral transform technique. Expressions for the radial and tangential components of the displacements and velocities are derived, and numerical results are presented for these quantities at the cavity boundary. Results for the mean (rigid-body component) motion of the cavity boundary are also presented. The problem is considered for pressure waves with a step distribution in time. The results may be used as influence coefficients to determine, by means of Duhamel integrals, the velocity and displacement fields produced by waves with time-varying pressure.

A semi-infinite strip held rigidly on its short end is considered. Loads in the strip at infinity (far away from the fixed end) are prescribed. Integral transform technique is used to provide an exact formulation of the problem in terms of a singular integral equation. Stress singularity at the strip corner is obtained from the singular integral equation which is then solved numerically. Stresses along the rigid end are determined and the effect of the material properties on the stress-intensity factor is presented. The method can also be applied to the problem of a laminate composite with a flat inclusion normal to the interfaces.

Abstract This paper presents analytical results of forced transverse vibration of a column with a mass attached at free-end subjected to a tangential follower force and a transverse distributed excitation force, that is a simplified model of some structures in civil and mechanical engineering, e.g., a column of a suspension bridge, a launched rocket in the atmosphere. Because the tangential follower force is nonconservative, it is very difficult to get the analytical solution of the problem by usually-used analysis methods with which the adjoint boundary value problem can not be directly obtained. However, by applying the finite integral transform technique, we directly obtained the adjoint boundary value problem in the analysis process, and successfully obtained the analytical solution of the column’s vibration excited by the transverse distributed force.

An infinitely long cylindrical cavity in an infinite elastic homogeneous and isotropic medium is enveloped by a plane shock wave whose front is parallel to the axis of the cavity. An integral transform technique is used to determine the stress field produced in the medium by the diffraction of the incoming shock wave by the cavity. Expressions for the radial stress σrr, the hoop stress σθθ, and the shear stress σrθ are derived as inversion integrals, and numerical results are presented for the time-history of the hoop stress σθθ at the boundary of the cavity. The amplifications of the hoop-stress concentration factors due to the dynamic loading are noted. The problem is considered for pressure waves with a step distribution in time. These results may be used as influence coefficients to determine, by means of Duhamel integrals, the stress field produced by waves with time-varying pressures.

The method of analysis of steady oscillations arising in the piecewise homogeneous wedge-shaped medium composed by two homogeneous elastic wedges with different mechanical and geometric characteristics is presented. Method is based on the distributions’ integral transform technique and allows reconstructing the wave field in the whole medium by displacement oscillations given in the domain on the boundary of the medium. The problem in question is reduced to a boundary integral equation (BIA). Solvability problems of the BIA are examined and the structure of its solution is established.

Paper concerns a specific problem in the study of dynamic response of rigid-plastic plates in contact with incompressible and inviscid fluid. The dynamic load is assumed to be of high intensity and short duration. Employing integral transform technique in conjunction with the dual integral equation method this interaction problem is reduced to the problem of plate deforming in vacuum for which the solution is well known.

The paper considers the elastostatic axisymmetric problem for a thick-walled spherical shell containing a circumferential edge crack on the inner surface. The ring-shaped edge crack and the inner surface of the spherical shell are subjected to internal pressure. Using an integral transform technique we obtain a singular integral equation of the first kind which has a generalized Cauchy kernel as the dominant part. The integral equation is solved numerically, and the influence of the geometrical configuration on the stress-intensity factor and the crack-opening displacement is shown graphically in detail.
