Here, B and C are the bounded linear operators on the whole space X X. By the block
operators A and A
, we attempt to solve Eq. (1) with the boundary conditions in Eq. (2).
Therefore, we need the following completeness theorems.
Theorem 1 The block operator A has an orthogonal eigenfunction system in the Hilbert
Space X X. In particular, the eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions (away from a
226 EBURILITU and ALATANCANG

where k = 0, 1, 2, .
Proof The eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions of A shown in Eq. (11) are
demonstrated by straightforward calculations. By calculation, we have
(U
k
, U
j
) =
_
h, k = j,
0, k = j,
where k, j = 0, 1, 2, . This shows that the eigenfunction system {U
k
|k = 0, 1, 2, }
possesses the orthogonality. Therefore, Theorem 1 is proved.
Theorem 2 The eigenfunction system {U
k
|k = 0, 1, 2, } dened in Eq. (11) of the
block operator A is complete in the sense of the Cauchy principal value in XX, i.e., for each

of Eq. (13) are the Fourier series expansions in terms of the corresponding orthogonal systems

According to the proof of Theorem 2, the two components of the vector-valued function on
the right-hand side of Eq. (18) are the Fourier series expansions in terms of the corresponding
orthogonal systems associated with f and g in X = L

[0, h], respectively. Therefore, the
expansion (17) holds.

we can also obtain similar results. Therefore, the boundary conditions in Eq. (2) can be replaced
by some other boundary conditions.
3 General solution
This section is devoted to the general solution to the 2D elasticity problems (1) and (2). Let
U =
_

y

U =

q f
x

y
_
,
F =

_

.
Then, Eq. (4) can be written as
U
y
= AU +F, (19)
U
y
= A
U +
F. (20)
To obtain the general solution to the problems (1) and (2), we use the eigenfunction expansion
method.
By Theorems 3 and 4, we apply the separation of variables to the problem (20). First, we
consider the corresponding homogeneous case, i.e.,
U
y
= A
U. (21)
We look for the solutions of the form
U(x, y) =
T(y)
(y)
T(y)
=
A
V (x)
V (x)
.
It is seen that both sides of the above equation are constant and equal to . Therefore, the
homogeneous equation (21) reduces to the following form:
(y) =
T(y), (22)
A
V (x) =
V (x). (23)
We notice that the eigenvalue problem of the operator A
k
y
. By
superposing these solutions, the homogeneous equation (21) has the solution of the following
form:
U(x, y) =
T

(y)

+
k=1
(
T
k
(y)
U
k
(x) +
T
k
(y)
U
k
(x)). (24)
Now, we apply the separation of variables to the inhomogeneous problem (20). From Theorems
3 and 4, we see that the inhomogeneous equation (20) still has the solution of the form (24),
and the inhomogeneous item
F in Eq. (20) has the following Fourier expansion:
F(x, y) =

is as follows:

Next, we substitute the component q of
U given in Eq. (28) into Eq. (19). Then, we obtain
an inhomogeneous problem. From Theorems 1 and 2, we see that Eq. (19) has the solution as
follows:
U(x, y) = T

k=1
(T

Moreover, we observe that the sequences of the functions (14) and (15) are the complete system
of orthogonal functions in L

Furthermore, if f

Remark 3 The two components

the corresponding shear stress and the normal stress in Eq. (1). Furthermore, the normal stress
x

If f

and
d

can be determined. Here, we take f
x
(x, y) = 0 and f
y
(x, y) = 0. Then, the outline of the
computing procedure is as follows. We expand the given boundary value functions
xy
(x, 0) = 0
and
y
(x, 0) = sin

Similarly, we expand the given boundary value functions
xy
(x, l) = 0 and
y
(x, l) = sin

_
into the Fourier series using the orthogonal function systems (14) and (15), respectively. Com-
paring the coecients of the obtained two Fourier series and the coecients of the solution
U(x, l) (i.e., set y = l in the general solution (33)), the constants
d

can also be determined.

(i) Compared with the results in [13], the two simpler complete orthogonal systems of eigen-
functions are obtained, which belong to the two block operators arising in the operator matrix
H. Furthermore, a more simple and convenient general solution to the 2D problem is given.
(ii) Under any boundary conditions
