EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE MODEL OF A NONLOCAL ELASTIC FOUNDATION
Abstract
The design of bars, lying on an elastic base is fulfilled usually with help of a simple model of the base proposed by Winkler. This hypothesis was subjected to repeated critics. A new model of nonlocal elastic foundation was proposed by PotapovV.D . It allows reducing some contradictions of Winkler's model. In the paper, an attempt of an experimental test of the hypothesis of nonlocal elastic foundation is undertaken
