On a Mixed Boundary Value Problem for the Biharmonic Equation in a Strip

icon-email Nguyen Van Ngoc

Abstract

The aim of the present work is to consider a mixed boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation in a strip. The problem may be interpreted as a deflection surface of a strip plate with the edges y=0, y=h having clamped conditions on intervals |x|a and hinged support conditions for |x|<a. Using the Fourier transform, the problem is reduced to studying a system of dual integral equations on the edges of the strip. The uniqueness and existence theorems of solution of system of dual integral equations are established in appropriate Sobolev spaces. A method for reducing the dual integral equation to infinite system of linear algebraic equations is also proposed.
