biharmonic surfaces in euclidean space $mathbb{e}^3$ are firstly studied from a differential geometric point of view by bang-yen chen, who showed that the only biharmonic surfaces are minimal ones. a surface $x : m^2rightarrowmathbb{e}^{3}$ is called biharmonic if $delta^2x=0$, where $delta$ is the laplace operator of $m^2$. we study the $l_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in the $4$-dimen...

We use the singular function boundary integral method (SFBIM) to solve two model fracture problems on the plane. In the SFBIM, the solution is approximated by the leading terms of the local asymptotic solution expansion, which are also used to weight the governing biharmonic equation in the Galerkin sense. The discretized equations are reduced to boundary integrals by means of the divergence th...

This paper presents an optimal solver for the Morley element problem for the boundaryvalue problem of the biharmonic equation by decomposing it into several subproblems and solving these subproblems optimally. The optimality of the proposed method is mathematically proved for general shape-regular grids. Mathematics subject classification: 65F08, 65N30, 65N99

In this paper, we are interested in some aspects of the biharmonic equation in the half-space R+ , with N ≥ 2. We study the regularity of generalized solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces, then we consider the question of singular boundary conditions. To finish, we envisage other sorts of boundary conditions.

ABSTRACT This paper presents the theoretical developments of two finite strip methods (i.e. semi-analytical and full-analytical) for the post-buckling analysis of isotropic plates. In the semi-analytical finite strip approach, all the displacements are postulated by the appropriate shape functions while in the development process of the full-analytical approach, the Von-Karman’s equilibrium equ...
