This book presents the idea of zero-range potentials and shows the limitations of the point models used in structural mechanics. It also offers specific examples from the theory of generalized functions, regularization of super-singular integral equations and other specifics of the boundary value problems for partial differential operators of the fourth order.

• Vibrations of Thin Elastic Plates and Classical Point Models
• Operator Methods in Diffraction
• Generalized Point Models
• Discussions and Recommendations for Future Research
