Determination of viscoelastic stresses in the plates with inclusions (Q2831350)

The paper dwells on an approach to determine viscoelastic stresses in plates with inclusions. The approach is based on the method of boundary integral equations (MBIEs) and integral Laplace transform. For the problem of elasticity theory, a formal solution, in which differential operators are replaced by constant values, is constructed by means of the MBIEs and reduced to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The corresponding viscoelasticity problem is solved by the integral Laplace transform and a refined numerical-analytic formula for its transformation. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by examples.
