This paper reports a new spectral collocation method for numerically solving two-dimensional biharmonic boundary-value problems. The construction of the Chebyshev approximations is based on integration rather than conventional differentiation. This use of integration allows: (i) the imposition of the governing equation at the whole set of grid points including the boundary points and (ii) the s...

Abstract. We modify the usual biharmonic model, still frequently used in the engineering community to model linearly elastic plates. In its traditional form, the biharmonic model diverges in general, since it does not incorporate shear effects. Our changes make it convergent for all loads, under a usual assumption on how the loads depend on the thickness. The idea is to add “higher order” terms...

An analytical method to find the flow generated by the basic singularities of Stokes flow in a wedge of arbitrary angle is presented. Specifically, we solve a biharmonic equation for the stream function of the flow generated by a point stresslet singularity and satisfying no-slip boundary conditions on the two walls of the wedge. The method, which is readily adapted to any other singularity typ...

Using three critical points theorems, we prove the existence of at least three solutions for a quasilinear biharmonic equation.

let denote the unit circle in the complex plane. given a function , one uses t usual (harmonic) poisson kernel for the unit disk to define the poisson integral of , namely . here we consider the biharmonic poisson kernel for the unit disk to define the notion of -integral of a given function ; this associated biharmonic function will be denoted by . we then consider the dilations for and . the ...

In this paper we review fourth-order approximations of the biharmonic operator in one, two and three dimensions. In addition, we describe recent developments on second and fourth order finite difference approximations of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The schemes are compact both for the biharmonic and the Laplacian operators. For the convective term the fourth order scheme invoke...

In this paper‎, ‎we prove a multiplicity result for some biharmonic elliptic equation of Kirchhoff type and involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth at infinity‎. ‎Using some variational arguments and exploiting the symmetries of the problem‎, ‎we establish a multiplicity result giving two nontrivial solutions‎.
