Abstract: The analysis of surface acoustic waves (SAW) in finite solids with complications such as electrodes is of great importance in resonator design. As a simplification of the analysis of actual ...

We apply the well known Rayleigh–Ritz method (RRM) to the projection of a Hamiltonian operator chosen recently for the extension of the Rayleigh–Ritz variational principle to ensemble states. By means ...

Multistable shells are thin-walled structures that have more than one stable state of self-stress. We consider isotropic axisymmetrical shallow shells of arbitrary polynomial shapes using a Föppl–von ...
