This book is comprehensive in its classical mathematical physics
presentation, providing the reader with detailed instructions for
obtaining Green's functions from scratch. Green's functions is an
instrument easily accessible to practitioners who are engaged in design
and exploitation of machines and structures in modern engineering
practice. To date, there are no books available on the market that are
devoted to the Green's function formalism for equations covered in this
volume. The reader, with an undergraduate background in applied
mathematics, can become an active user of the Green's function approach.
For the first time, Green's functions are discussed for a specific class
of problems dealing with potential fields induced in thin-wall
structures and therefore, the reader will have first-hand access to a
novel issue. This Work is accessible to researchers in applied
mathematics, mechanics, and relevant disciplines such as engineering, as
well as to upper level undergraduates and graduate students.
