Mechanical fields over thin elastic surfaces can develop singularities at isolated points and curves in response to constrained deformations (e.g., crumpling folding of paper), singular body forces couples, distributions defects dislocations disclinations), metric anomaly growth thermal strains). With such concerns as our motivation, we model von Kármán plates generalize the classical equations...

Thin continuous flexible floating structures have been shown to technical and economic advantages for Offshore Floating Photovoltaic (OFPV) installations. In terms of large horizontal dimensions compared the wave length, these are similar sea ice as well Very Large Structures (VLFS), e.g. proposed airports. this paper, we reviewed hydroelastic theory VLFS assessed its applicability newly envisa...
