Analysis of the Buckling of an ELASTIC Plate Floating on Water and Stressed Uniformly along the Periphery of an Internal Hole

Abstract

The problem can be reduced to an eigenvalue problem of a fourth order ordinary differential equation in a semi-infinite region. The series that satisfied the boundary condition at infinity is asymptotic, which cannot satisfy the boundary condition at a finite point and fails to yield the eigenvalues. Theoretically this difficulty can be overcome, as explained in this report, by converting the divergent asymptotic series to a convergent factorial series.
