a b s t r a c tA piecewise-homogenous elastic plate, reinforced with a semi-infinite inclusion, which intersects the interface at a right angle and is loaded with shear forces is considered. The contact stresses along the contact line are determined and the behaviour of the contact stresses in the neighbourhood of singular points is established. Using methods of the theory of analytical functions and integral transformations the problem is reduced to a system of singular integro-differential equations on the semi-axis. The solution is presented in explicit form.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
