Letters of Washington Irving
No full textThis letter from Washington Irving to his older brother, William Irving, is the seventh and last of the Irving manuscript letters in the Library of Rutgers University. The first six letters, written to Washington's brothers, Peter and William, and to Andrew Hicks, during his first trip abroad, were published in THE JOURNAL for December and June of 1945 and 1946

A Ruskin Letter
No full textOf letters by John Ruskin to his intimate friend Arthur Severn only four have ever been printed in collections. This fact gives added interest to the one which is here publishedfor the first time. The evelope is postmarked at Abingdon November 5, 1875, and is addressed to Arthur Severn Esq., Heme Hill, SE, London. A study of the letter reveals this fact clearly, at the same time casting light upon Ruskin's relationship with his close friend Arthur Severn
Recent developments in the evaluation of the 3D fundamental solution and its derivatives for transversely isotropic elastic materials
No full textExplicit closed-form real-variable expressions of a fundamental solution and its derivatives for three-dimensional problems in transversely linear elastic isotropic solids are presented. The expressions of the fundamental solution in displacements Uik and its derivatives, originated by a unit point force, are valid for any combination of material properties and for any orientation of the radius vector between the source and field points. An ex- pression of Uik in terms of the Stroh eigenvalues on the oblique plane normal to the radius vector is used as starting point. Working from this expression of Uik, a new approach (based on the application of the rotational symmetry of the material) for deducing the first and second order derivative kernels, Uik,j and Uik,jl respectively, has been developed. The expressions of the fundamental solution and its derivatives do not suffer from the difficulties of some previous expressions, obtained by other authors in different ways, with complex valued functions appearing for some combinations of material parameters and/or with division by zero for the radius vector at the rotational symmetry axis. The expressions of Uik, Uik,j and Uik,jl are presented in a form suitable for an efficient computational implementation in BEM codes
