Wiener-Hopf Elastic Plate Solution

Introduction

We present here the Wiener-Hopf solution to the problem of a two semi-infinite Two-Dimensional Floating Elastic Plates. The solution method is based on the one presented by Chung and Fox 2002. This problem has been well studied and the first solution was by Evans and Davies 1968 but they did not actually develop the method sufficiently to be able to calculate the solution. A solution was also developed by Balmforth and Craster and by Tcakava
