Computation of fundamental solutions for laminated anisotropic shallow shells (Q1905531): Difference between revisions

The shell equations considered here form an elliptic system of five partial differential equations with constant coefficients. The effect of (in-plane) anisotropy is incorporated in the constants of the constitutive relations. Applying Hörmander's method and plane wave decomposition leads to an ordinary differential equation for \(\varphi(x)\) -- the generating function for the fundamental solution. The aim is to give approximations of \(\varphi (x)\) and its derivatives with a high degree of accuracy. To this end, the \(x\)-interval is splitted, and on each subinterval the function \(\varphi (x)\) is approximated by rational functions or continued fractions.
