Andronov I.V. Generalized Point Models in Structural Mechanics

World Scientific Publishing, 2002, 262 pages, ISBN 981-02-4878-4This book introduces the idea of zero-range potentials to structural mechanics and allows generalized point models more accurate than classical ones to be constructed for obstacles presented both in the structure and in the fluid. Author discusses the zero-range potentials technique taking as an example
one-sided fluid loaded thin elastic plate subject to flexural deformations described by Kirchhoff theory. Two and three dimensional problems of diffraction of stationary wave process are considered.Vibrations of Thin Elastic Plates and Classical Point Models
Operator methods in diffraction
Generalized point models
Discussions and recommendations for future research
