Deformation of a rectangular plate half-embedded in an elastic base

We have investigated the deformation of a rectangular plate half-embedded in an elastic base and subjected to a mechanical load. Using the apparatus of generalized functions, the problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations which is solved by the boundary element method. We present the results in the form of isolines of the components of the displacement vector.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 3, pp. 72–77, March, 1996.
