An analytic solution is presented describing ̄ow to a drain in a semi-in®nite domain bounded by a leaky layer of constant thickness. The solution is developed by applying the method of images to two parallel boundaries: an inhomogeneity boundary and an equipotential boundary. It is then demonstrated that the solution for the problem with the leaky layer approximated by a leaky boundary (a mixed...

In this paper we derive boundary integral identities for the bi-Laplacian eigenvalue problems under Dirichlet, Navier and simply-supported boundary conditions. By using these integral identities, we first obtain uniqueness criteria for the solutions of the bi-Laplacian eigenvalue problems, and then prove that each eigenvalue of the problem with simply-supported boundary conditions increases str...

We develop a multiresolution representation of a class of integral operators satisfying boundary conditions on simple domains in order to construct fast algorithms for their application. We also elucidate some delicate theoretical issues related to the construction of periodic Green’s functions for Poisson’s equation. By applying the method of images to the non-standard form of the free space o...

In the present study, the classical plate theory (CPT) was used to study sound radiation of forced vibrating thin circular plates coupled with piezoelectric layers using simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. The novelty of the study consists of an exact closed-form solution that was developed without any use of approximation. Piezoelectric, electrical potential loaded in the transve...
