The analogy between potential theory and classical elasticity suggests an extension of the powerful method of integral equations to the boundary value problems of elasticity. A vector boundary formula relating the boundary values of displacement and traction for the general equilibrated stress state is derived. The vector formula itself is shown to generate integral equations for the solution of t...

Strain-displacement relations for thin shells valid for large displacements are derived. With these as a starting point approximate strain-displacement relations and equilibrium equations are derived by making certain simplifying assumptions. In particular the middle surface strains are assumed small and the rotations are assumed moderately small. The resulting equations are suitable as a basis fo...

This paper studies mathematical methods in the emerging new discipline ofComputational Anatomy. Herein we formalize the Brown/Washington University model of anatomy following the global pattern theory introduced in [1, 2], in which anatomies are represented as deformable templates, collections of 0, 1, 2, 3-dimensional manifolds. Typical structure is carried by the template with the variabilities ...

The two-dimensional convective motion generated by buoyancy forces on the fluid in a long rectangle, of which the two long sides are vertical boundaries held at different temperatures, is considered with a view to the determination of the rate of transfer of heat between the two vertical boundaries. The governing equations are set up; they reveal that the flow is determined uniquely by the Prandtl...
