Abstract
A rigorous solution is obtained for the diffusion of load from a semi-infinite stiffener into an infinite or a semi-infinite sheet. A Mellin transformation, applied to the basic singular integro-differential equation of the problem, yields a difference equation in a strip of the complex plane which is solved by means of Laplace transforms. The final solution is obtained in the form of an inverse Mellin integral which is evaluated by contour integration.Keywords
