    Notes: Abstract The firing time of a cable model neuron in response to white noise current injection is investigated with various methods. The Fourier decomposition of the depolarization leads to partial differential equations for the moments of the firing time. These are solved by perturbation and numerical methods, and the results obtained are in excellent agreement with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. The convergence of the random Fourier series is found to be very slow for small times so that when the firing time is small it is more efficient to simulate the solution of the stochastic cable equation directly using the two different representations of the Green's function, one which converges rapidly for small times and the other which converges rapidly for large times. The shape of the interspike interval density is found to depend strongly on input position. The various shapes obtained for different input positions resemble those for real neurons. The coefficient of variation of the interspike interval decreases monotonically as the distance between the input and trigger zone increases. A diffusion approximation for a nerve cell receiving Poisson input is considered and input/output frequency relations obtained for different input sites. The cases of multiple trigger zones and multiple input sites are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The depolarization of a passive nerve cylinder or dendritic tree in the equivalent cylinder representation is assumed to satisfy the cable equation. We consider in detail the effects of white noise current injection at a given location for the case of sealed end boundary conditions and for an initial resting state. The depolarization at a point is a Gaussian random process but is not Markovian. Expressions (infinite series) are obtained for the expectation, variance, spatial and temporal covariances of the depolarization. We examine the steady state expectation and variance and investigate how these are approached in time over the whole neuronal surface. We consider the relative contributions of various terms in the series for the expectation and variance of the depolarization at x=0 (soma, trigger zone, recording electrode) for various positions of the input process. It is found that different numbers of terms must be taken to obtain a reasonable approximation depending on whether the stimulus is at proximal, central or distal parts of the dendritic tree. We consider briefly the interspike time problem and see in an approximate way how spatial effects are important in determining the mean time between impulses.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der in der singulären Störungsrechnung benutzten Methode einer inneren und äußeren asymptotischen Entwicklung werden endliche, axialsymmetrische Deformationen bei zwei Membranproblemen beschrieben: eine dünne elastische Kreismembran mit kleiner radialer Zugspannung am Rande, und eine Kreisringmembran mit einem kleinen konzentrischen Loch. In beiden Problemen wird die Belastung als ein axial gerichteter Oberflächendruck angenommen. Im ersten Problem zeigt die Lösung am äußeren Rand Grenzschichtverhalten, welches im zweiten Problem am Lochrand vorliegt.
    Notes: Summary The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to describe finite axisymmetric deformations of two thin elastic membrane problems: a circular membrane with a small radial traction at the edge, an annular membrane with a small circular hole at the center. In both problems, the surface load is assumed to be an axial pressure. There is a boundary layer at the outer edge in the first problem, and at the hole in the second problem.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Friedrichs und Dressler sowie Gol'denveiser und Kolos haben unabhängig voneinander gezeigt, dass das erste Glied der durch äussere Entwicklung (nach einem kleinen Dickeparamter) gewonnenen Lösung für die lineare Elastostatik dünner, ebener, isotroper Körper zur klassischen Kirchhoffschen Plattentheorie führt. Wie erwartet kann weder dieses erste Glied noch die vollständige äussere Lösung allein willkürlich vorgegebene Randwerte erfüllen. Andererseits ist die innere Lösung, die nur in Randnähe von Bedeutung ist, durch eine Folge von Randwertproblemen bestimmt, die sehr schwer zu lösen sind, nahezu ebenso schwer wie das ursprüngliche Problem. Im Fall von Randbedingungen für die Spannungen kann man das St. Venantsche Prinzip sowohl zur Erzeugung eines Systems von Spannungsrandbedingungen für die klassische Plattentheorie als auch für einige Glieder höherer Ordnung in der äusseren Entwicklung ohne jeden Bezug zur inneren Lösung heranziehen. In der Literatur dargestellte Versuche, die entsprechenden Bedingungen für das Verschiebungsrandwertproblem herzuleiten, waren nicht erfolgreich. Mit Hilfe des Betti-Rayleighschen Reziprozitätssatzes haben wir das korrekte System von Randbedingungen für die klassische Plattentheorie und auch für Plattentheorien höherer Ordnung mit willkürlichen Randwerten hergeleitet. In der vorliegenden Arbeit stellen wir diese Bedingungen für einen unendlichen Plattenstreifen mit gleichmässigen Randwerten auf. Wir zeigen, dass man durch Aufsummieren der Bedingungen für die einzelnen Glieder der äusseren entwicklung ein einfaches System angemessener Randbedingungen für die vollständige äussere Lösung an der Mittelebene erhalten kann. Die Randbedingungen, die man für den Fall einer half-unendlichen Platte erhält, sind streng gültig, und das Ergebnis für den Fall von vorgegebenen Spannungen rechtfertigt die Anwendung des St. Venantschen Prinzips vollkommen. Zwei einfache Probleme illustrieren die Anwendung der für das Verschiebungsproblem erhaltenen Randbedingungen: (i) Die Scherung eines unendlich langen rechteckigen Blocks und (ii) Ein eingespannter unendlicher Plattenstreifen unter gleichmässiger Belastung.
    Notes: Abstract Friedrichs and Dressler and Gol'denveiser and Kolos have independently shown that the classical plate theory of Kirchhoff is the leading term of the outer expansion solution (in a small thickness parameter) for the linear elasto-statics of thin, flat, isotropic bodies. As expected, neither this leading term nor the full outer solution alone is able to satisfy arbitrarily prescribed edge conditions. On the other hand, the inner solution, which is significant only near the edge, is determined by a sequence of boundary value problems which are very difficult to solve, nearly as difficult as the original problem. For stress edge-data, St. Venant's principle may be invoked to generate a set of stress boundary conditions for the classical plate theory as well as for some higher order terms in the outer expansion without any reference to the inner solution. Attempts in the literature to derive the corresponding boundary conditions for displacement edge-data have not been successful. With the help of the Betti-Rayleigh reciprocity theorem, we have derived the correct set of boundary conditions for classical and higher order plate theories with arbitrary edge-data. In this paper, we work out these conditions for an infinite plate strip with edgewise uniform data. We show that the conditions for individual terms in the outer expansion may be summed to give a simple set of appropriate boundary conditions for the full outer solution at the mid-plane. The boundary conditions obtained for the semi-infinite plate case are rigorously correct and the result for the stress data case rigorously justifies the application of St. Venant's principle. Applications of the displacement boundary conditions obtained are illustrated by two simple problems: (i) The shearing of an infinitely long rectangular block, and (ii) A clamped infinite plate strip under uniform face pressure.

    Notes: Abstract A homogeneous, isotropic plate occupies the region 0≤x 1≤∞, |x 2|≤a, |x 3|≤h, where the ratio h/a is sufficiently small so that the classical theory of thin plate bending applies. The short end of the plate at x 1=0 is clamped while the long sides are free. This cantilever plate is now loaded at x 1=+∞ by an applied twisting moment, by a bending moment or by flexure. Despite the fundamental nature of these problems, and the long history of thin plate theory, no solutions are to be found in the existing literature that will determine (for instance) the important unknown resultants V 1, M 11 at the clamped end x 1=0. The main reason for this is that this combination of boundary conditions leads to severe oscillating singularities of the field in the corners (0, ±a). The fact that such singularities must exist is widely known, but we present here for the first time a method of solution that takes these singularities fully into account. Our numerical results show that the values of M 11, V 1 on x 1=0 bear little resemblance to those of the corresponding Saint-Venant ‘solutions’, which do not fully satisfy the boundary conditions at the clamped end. Indeed, significantly large values of these resultants were found at points far enough from the corners so as to be relevant in actual engineering applications. Also of interest are certain weighted integrals of M 11, V 1 which we calculate. These constants determine the effect of the clamping at ‘large’ distances (greater than 4a, say) from the cla,ped end. At such distances, the effect of the clamping is merely to impose an additional rigid body deflection on the plate. Finally, we consider the plate of finite length. Provided that the aspect ratio is 2 or more, we give accurate approximate solutions for the torsion, bending or flexure of a finite plate clamped at both ends.
